According to Mau above this bench or hearth were the remains of a painting of the 2 Lares.
Near them a serpent was seen coiled around an altar, on which was a large pine cone.
See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p.307).
Boyce also mentioned that a man was leading a reluctant hog.
He also said the lower zone was not well preserved and only a few traces of the foliage remained, through which the usual serpents must have glided.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.38, no.109).
