A patera was a shallow bowl which could have a long handle and was used to make votive or funerary offerings to the gods. A completely preserved patera like this one is quite rare. As this type of vessel is well known in bronze examples, the ochre yellow that covers the body of the youth was probably meant to simulate polished metal.
