[6] Since Euterpe asteroids are of silicaceous rather than carbonaceous composition, with a relatively high albedo around 0.26 (also see list of families),[5] La Sagra measures approximately 1.2 kilometer in diameter,[4] based on an absolute magnitude of 16.6.
[2] As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of La Sagra has been obtained from photometric observations.
The body's rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown.
