VI.2.14 Pompeii. Garden painting on east wall at the rear of garden. Old undated photograph courtesy of the Society of Antiquaries, Fox Collection. This incorporated a lararium with the likenesses of Egyptian deities, Isis, Osiris and Harpocrates. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.122). According to Boyce, on the east wall was a shrine for Egyptian deities, which had disappeared before Helbig made his descriptions. Helbig’s descriptions were taken from the Pomp. Ant. Hist. Below the lararium niche was a brick altar standing on the floor of the room, coated with red stucco and with a yellow candelabrum painted on it. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.44, no.141)

VI.2.14 Pompeii. September 2005. West wall of triclinium with remains of wall painting of sitting man, cupid and abandoned Ariadne?, See Helbig, W., 1868. Wandgemälde der vom Vesuv verschütteten Städte Campaniens. Leipzig: Breitkopf und Härtel. (p.258, no.1232) According to Schefold found on the west wall of triclinium was the remains of wall painting of Heros, Eros and Nymphe. See Schefold, K., 1962. Vergessenes Pompeji. Bern: Francke. (T. 168, 1). According to PAH 1, 3, 52-54, 16th March 1811, the paintings in the middle of the walls were in a bad state when excavated. Because of this, one could not know what they represented.
