VII.16.17-22 Pompeii. Wall painting of winged female figure, possibly Victoria. PAP 41653.
Photographed at “A Day in Pompeii” exhibition at Melbourne Museum. September 2009.
This may have come from the area of oecus 32 at the south end of the upper level, and may be the II style winged Nike.
This room has not been photographed.
Or, VI.17.41 Pompeii, according to PPM –
“This painting has been wrongly attributed to the tablinum of VI.17.41, the pieces recomposed from numerous fragments and shows a flying female Genius. The characteristics of the figure do not seem to agree with the recognisable remains from the north wall of the tablinum, therefore one must think that the fragments had been found in this area during the excavation in the 1950’s and perhaps belong to the decoration of oecus 15 in the south-west of the house at VI.7.41, or of triclinium 20 in the north-west corner of the same house.”

VII.16.17-22 Pompeii. December 2007. Looking out from staircase, onto a garden area.
According to Jashemski, this garden area was a long hanging garden, created by placing soil on the roof of the rooms below.
A small marble pool, edged with a marble border, was located in front of the windows of the important oecus with a bay window, which faced the garden.
