IX.1.12 Pompeii. December 2007. South wall and south-east corner near doorway of kitchen. Masonry altar. According to Boyce, the lararium painting was done on a white background. When he wrote his book in 1937, he said that on the right and left, the legs of the figures of the Lares were preserved. In the middle was the lower part of Venus Pompeiana wearing a yellow chiton and blue mantle. In her left hand she held a sceptre, and her right rested on a rudder. At her side was a cupid who seemed to be leaning forward to touch the garment of the goddess. Below this, the two serpents confronted at a painted altar. On the floor below the painting a masonry altar stands against the wall. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14.

At her side was a cupid who seemed to be leaning forward to touch the garment of the goddess.

Below this, the two serpents confronted at a painted altar.

On the floor below the painting a masonry altar stands against the wall.
