VII.15.8 Pompeii. September 2005. Looking west across tablinum, with window to oecus.

The oecus also had a window overlooking the garden area, at the rear.

According to Boyce, in the centre of the north wall of the garden area near the floor, was an arched niche.

The wall around it was covered with a rectangular panel of white stucco.

On this was an aedicula façade which was marked off with yellow and violet lines in low relief.

The work was delicately executed but somewhat irregular.
