208 Lacrimosa is a main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on 21 October 1879 in Pola.

The name derives from Our Lady of Sorrows, a title given to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

It is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.89320 AU with a period of 4.92 yr and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.013.

[3] 10μ radiometric data collected from Kitt Peak in 1975 gave a diameter estimate of 42 km for this asteroid.

[5] Hence it is probably a piece of the original asteroid that was shattered in an ancient impact that created the family.
