IX.2.18 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 11, garden area. Niche on north wall of east portico area. According to Boyce, this rectangular niche was coated with white stucco like the wall surrounding it. The back wall was covered with red spots, imitating flowers, its floor was a projecting tile. Painted on the wall below was an altar and from the right a huge red and yellow serpent with a crest approached it. Around the serpent were painted plants, and on them was perched an owl and other birds. Behind the serpent were two dolphins and a sea-monster. Four other small dolphins were painted somewhere nearby. Sogliano said they were sul podio della nicchietta. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14.
