II.4.6 Pompeii. December 2006. Niches in pergola on east side of garden, looking south.
The south wall, in the distance, would have been where the under-mentioned sacrarium was found.
On the 15th June 1755 (PAH I, 1, 21, add. 98), it was reported that a small room was discovered in the south wall of the garden.
The sacrarium was thought to be dedicated to Egyptian deities.
This had been excavated on 13th June. 
The room was completely painted and included paintings of Isis, Serapis, Anubis and Fortuna. 
In the south wall was an altar of white marble.
Also found in this room was the bronze tripod supported by ithyphallic satyrs.
Several other smaller items in gold, bronze and ivory were also found.

II.4.6 Pompeii. 1807. Engraving of the sacrarium.
According to Boyce, on three walls of a small sacellum-like room with vaulted ceiling, were sacred paintings.
These were done on a white background above a dado filled with plants.
In the centre, was Isis seated upon a throne.
On her left stood Anubis, wearing a dark garment and sandals, his head turned towards Isis.
On the left side wall were poorly preserved figures, a woman who seemed to be rolling a globe on the floor, and a male figure holding a cornucopia.
On the right of Isis in the centre, stood a poorly preserved figure holding a staff in right, and a cornucopia in the left hand.
On the right-side wall stood a female figure, holding in her right hand, a shallow dish with eggs and fruit, which she is offering to a serpent.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14.  (p.95, no.471)

Piranesi described it as “Niche dans le temple d’Isis a Pompeia”.
Fröhlich attributed it to this house and comments that Piranesi and Helbig contradict each other on some points. 
This sacrarium was taken to the Museum at Portici and reconstructed there, and then transferred to the National Museum. 
By around 1885, it had faded and perished apart from the lower portion showing the serpents.
In Naples Archaeological Museum it was inventory number 9693.
