According to Fiorelli -
“Questa bottega tiene sul pilastro che la precede un’edicola di fabbrica, ed in essa una pelta marmorea, con rilievo di due maschere tragiche e due faci, gia servita a decorare l’intercolunnio del portico di qualche ricca abitazione, e poi posta qui come segno averrunco contro il fascino. Al di sotto dell’edicola era dipinto:
CASELLIUM.AED.OVF
Essa probabilmente fu un termopolio, standovi il podio con due urne ed i consueti gradini per le stoviglie, il focolare, due nicchie per i Penati, ed una cella nel fondo con uscita nel vico orientale no.8.”
See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.161)
(translation: This shop had a masonry aedicula on the pilaster that preceeded it, and in it was a marble pelta with the relief showing two tragic masks and two faces, formerly used to decorate the intercolumniation of the portico of some rich house, and then placed here as a sign against the evil-eye. Painted underneath the aedicula was
CASELLIUM.AED.OVF
It was probably a thermopolium, because of the podium with two urns and the usual steps/shelving for the crockery, the hearth, two niches for the Penates, and a room at the rear with another exit at VII.16.8 in the eastern vicolo.”)
