VI.14.22 Pompeii. December 2007. Room 15, west wall of triclinium. According to BdI, on this wall (the entrance wall) the following paintings were seen upon excavation. Painting (1.12 high x 1.12 wide) showing a figure with a feminine aspect (0.80 high) (Hermaphrodite or Venus) looking at him/herself in a mirror. The background was filled with a simple and white building, at the top of the wall was a cornice. On the extreme left was a cupid standing on a pedestal with an open box, next to the feminine figure was a herm, statuette or person (due to the bad state of the painting it was difficult to see). On the right of the painting was a seated figure of Jove. On the same wall, more to the right was a medallion (0.40 diam.) badly preserved of a female head, turning a little to the left. See BdI, 1876, (p.25-6).
