Lewis & Short

praefĕrĭcŭlum, i, n. [praefero], a broad brazen dish used at sacrifices: praefericulum vas aëneum sine ansā patens summum, velut pelvis, quo ad sacrificia utebantur, Paul. ex Fest. p. 248 Müll. (whether at the sacrifices in honor of Ops cannot be determined, on account of the mutilated state of the words relating to it in Fest. p. 249, b).
