VI.8.23 Pompeii. May 2005. North wall of ala, with a yellow zoccolo (dado) and middle and upper areas painted white.
According to PPM, green painted plants could be seen in the narrow side panels of the zoccolo: in the central area was a rectangular area with garlands and a horizontal border of a “carpet” design on which peacocks rested.
Painted in the central aedicula was a female flying figure wearing a garment and cloak, outstretching her arms and holding a palm branch in the left hand.
In the upper part were architectural views with garlands, candelabra, shields and temples.
Painted in a square in the centre, was a clothed goddess on a throne, with sceptre in left arm and plate in the right hand.
