IX.3.7 Pompeii.  Picture of Isis Fortuna with horn of plenty and sistrum and with a foot on a globe. To the right is Hesperos and left is Helios or Harpocrates - Helios.  Frohlich says this picture was found on the north wall of the shop IX.3.7.   See Fröhlich, T., 1991, Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten.  Mainz: von Zabern.  (L101: p.294). The painting  of Isis-Fortuna (MN 8836) was found in 1847 in IX, iii, 15 on the north wall of a cubiculum.  It was discovered while carrying out work on one of the walls of the Casa di Suonatrici which joined the two houses. Our thanks to Raffaele Prisciandaro for his help in identifying the following sources: (Casa di Philocalus; parete N del cubicolo; CIL 04, 882 (197); BAIt 1, 1862, n. 20, 1862, pp. 159 160; Panofka, BdI 1847, pp. 127-128 “nell’appoggiar una delle mura della casa delle Suonatrici si è scoperta al muro della casa accanto una pittura …”)  Now in Naples Archaeological Museum, where it is shown as from IX.3.15.
