Context: Because the Etruscans have left us few written records, we do not know exactly who or what a Lasa was, or even whether she was a major or minor deity.Unlike early Etruscan statuettes, which seem very flat and emphasize pattern, this female twists and turns in a spiral like Hellenistic Greek figures. She was originally the handle-stand of an offering dish.
