According to PPM –

“The external facade to the south of the entrance doorway had a red zoccolo/dado subdivided into three panels with ‘carpet’ borders of two parallel lines.”

(Facciata esterna a S dell’ingresso: zoccolo rosso suddiviso in tre pannelli con bordi di tappeto a due linee parallele).

VI.2.24 Pompeii. Between 1819 and 1832. Drawings by W. Gell.

On the left, drawing of phallic symbol, presumably in the outside wall of “House of the Little Priapus, Street of Modestus”.

This may or may not be from here, as we cannot find any proof of this name, (but see also VI.2.25).

The next drawing, "on a wall", may or may not be from here.

The capital “In a house entry South of the Tower” is from VI.2.18/19.

The floor decoration is from VI.2.17.
