This room also had a decoration of red and yellow panels, fragmented by ornate architecture.
In the yellow panels were small paintings.
The one on the north wall (0.51 x 0.44) showed a naked standing Bacchus, crowned with foliage, leaning on a pilaster with his left elbow, inside his elbow was his cloak. In his right hand was a short rod/staff, near to him on the ground was an amphora with a wide neck.
Of the other two paintings on the east wall, the first (0.45 x 0.53) showed a Cupid, with two whips, one in each hand following a goat.
The second (0.45 x 0.42) also showed a Cupid encouraging a dog to attack a rabbit.
The west wall having been holed did not preserve any paintings in its panels.
Whereas on the south, under the window, the yellow plaster that one sees above a most antique decoration (II Style) was decayed.
White lozenges (diamonds) were seen in the red panels, in each lozenge was a painted Cupid, some with rod and pan-pipe, some with crook or with a cornucopia.
In the panel of the frieze, finishing above of an elegant cornice of stucco, were painted some isolated figures, around 0.54 high.
Beginning from the north wall, one could have seen -
1.) Female standing woman, with long purple robe.
2.) Satyr crowned with reed, with greenish cloak, having a torch in his right hand and a bunch of grapes in his left hand.
3.) Female figure with green robe, with left hand raised to her head and holding the edge of her cloak.
4.) Female figure with purple robe, with a garland of leaves between her hands.
5.) Naked Satyr, with cloak around his legs, the shepherd’s crook in his left hand, and pan-pipe in his right.
6.) Female figure dressed in dark green robe with a yellow tunic above, holding a lance in the left hand.
7.) Another female figure with red robe and yellowish cloak, who had a fan in the guise of a leaf in her right hand.
8.) Virile naked figure, except for a purple cloak that fell from his shoulders and which was wrapped around his left arm, in his right hand he held an
arrow tied to a snare, whose other end he held in his left hand.
9.) Virile figure, badly preserved, with dark green cloak and a lance.
10.) Woman with green robe, gazing intently into a round mirror held in her left hand: the mirror did not have a long handle, but was held on the wrong
side.
11.) Another woman with a yellow robe and greenish cloak, who held a basket filled with fruit in both hands.
