VII.12.11 Pompeii. December 2004. Lararium. According to Boyce, on the west wall was a lararium painting on a white background. Upon a throne sat Vesta, on each side of the goddess stood a wreathed Lar, much smaller than Vesta. Behind and to the right of her throne, the forepart of an ass was visible. In the lower zone were two serpents approaching a cylindrical altar painted in imitation yellow marble and finished with fire and fruit. Each serpent had a red crest and beard, but those on the right serpent were larger. At the sides of both the upper and lower panels were green trees and above the top of the upper panel were two garlands. The entire painting was bordered with broad red stripes at top and sides. Boyce thought this one of the most finely executed of all lararium pictures. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.70, no.316, and Pl. 24,1)
