 | | Lasa was frequently shown carrying an alabastron, a Greek type of perfume-vase, originally made of alabaster (hence the name) that had funerary connotations, and was either used to hold the perfume with which the dead were anointed, or left as an offering for the dead. |
 | | Lasa was not infrequently shown all by Herself as a main subject, engraved on the back of a mirror or cast as the handle of a mirror or patera, suggesting She was not a mere handmaiden of Turan. |
 | | Lasa had quite a few epithets or variations: She could be called Lasa Recuneta ("The Approved" or "Excellent"), Lasa Vecu (associated with the Roman Vegoia, a prophetic nymph), Lasa Thimrae ("She Who Punishes"), or Lasa Sitmica ("She Who Fixes", perhaps in reference to the fixing or deciding of an individual's fate). |
