According to Fiorelli,
when excavated the remains of a painted lararium were found somewhere in this

two serpents approaching the prepared altar remained visible.

wall was a fragmentary lararium painting, of which a single Lar, and the
serpents confronted at an altar with offerings, were visible at the time of
excavation.
