According to Sogliano, Triclinium “S” was decorated with walls with a white background. 
The room had doorposts of wood and probably the threshold was also of the same material. 
The white background of the walls was partitioned into large square ornamentations: 
in the middle of each of two of the squares on the north wall were medallions with blue (paonazzo) backgrounds: 
the medallion on the left was better preserved and showed a flying griffin. 
He also said that this room was also used as a bedroom, as shown by the bed recess in the west wall.
See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1905, (p.96).
