Statuette of Genius, made in bronze, about 15 cm high. It is based on a piece in the State Archeological Collection, Munich and on the statuette of a Boscoreale lararium. Now in the Walters Museum, Baltimore, USA.
This type of statuette formed part, along with others, of the gods displayed in the lararium of Roman domus. The genius was linked to everything related to the perpetuity of the lineage and continuity of the family name, to the pater familias.
He is represented as a robed figure and with his attributes, the panther and the horn of plenty.
