VI.16.15 Pompeii. December 2006. North wall of atrium with lararium between doorways to room I (left) and rooms K to M (right).
According to Boyce, the space between the two doorways on the north side of the atrium was painted with white stucco, bordered with red stripes.
This formed the large panel for the lararium painting.
A square niche was in the upper right-hand corner, on the rear wall of which was painted the figure of the Genius.
Hanging down on each side of him was a garland, on the side walls were painted red flowers with green leaves.
Of the two Lares originally painted on the white background of the wall, one on each side of the niche, only the lower part of the one on the left remained.
Below the figure of the Lar was painted a tall cylindrical altar, furnished with two eggs, a pine cone and fruit.
On each side was a huge yellow serpent, each coiled serpent about two metres in length.
The one on the left had a red crest and beard. The one on the right had neither.
In the background were rather large plants bearing fruit.
Over the surface of this picture had been spread a thin wash.
It would appear that the lararium belonged to an earlier decoration of the house and was to be replaced by a new one to be painted on the thin wash.
