(Note: We think this is a painting of part of the west and north wall of triclinium d’, which corresponds with the painting of the detail (below) of the wall decoration, which Vacher described as from “Grand Hotel, Pompeii”.)
Schefold describes: Triclinium l. of which: In the landscapes in the middle of the fields; one with a harbour, another with a sacred tree, weapons, armed Herm (Isis as goddess of war) Sogliano 763; furthermore, still life with fruits, slaughtered birds. The Vespasian decoration faded except for the mask in the middle of the upper wall. N-wall divided into two parts.

See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: Giannini, p. 152 no. 763.
In PPM, there is a photo of the west end of the North Wall, which would appear to show the part of the painted candelabra, a hanging horn, and part of the damaged plaster-work (matching the painting above).
They say, "We are still miraculously able to see the candlesticks with scrolls, from which hang drinking horns".

According to Boyce, on the south wall of the kitchen was a large rectangular panel of white stucco.
On it were painted two yellow serpents with red crest and beards.
These were on either side of a tile embedded and projecting from the wall.
A fire was painted on the wall above the tile.
The background was painted with plants, and across the top were two painted garlands.
On each of the garlands was a painted bird.

In IX.5.16, the first place on the left of the atrium was searched again, and found were several iron nails, some fish bones, and in terracotta: two containers for oil, a vase in fragments, two amphorae, two pot lids, and a broken bowl containing ash.

According
to PPM –
South
wall of the kitchen, nothing is preserved of the lararium with serpents, as
described by Mau (p.210).
He
described – Two serpents approach to the altar with the pinecone and egg
between plants and flowers above were three ribbons and on each of them was a
bird, a fourth and a fifth ribbons hung down on both sides. Note that the
kitchen intended for the private use of the master was in "u" (which
corresponds to the room "q" of the plan published here).
