VI.2.22 Pompeii.
c.1930. Flooring from an unknown room, perhaps
triclinium or tablinum.
According to Blake –
An effect somewhat similar to
that produced by narrow border strips to set off pieces of marble is obtained
in VI.2.22, by the use of rows of mosaic between simple squares of grey marble.
The whole is enclosed in a border of white triangles set tip to base, a design
not unknown in the first century BC.
The cement paving of the rest of this room, and
for that matter of the greater part of the house, ……. etc. (p.42).

or VI.1.25 Pompeii.
The
lower watercolour sketch says it is a mosaic in the 2nd house Pompei, which is
from VI.2.22, either the tablinum or a triclinium.
The
central sketch is part of a mosaic in the atrium of the House of Salve.
The
upper sketch appears to be a garland from the Pantheon (VII.9.7) which it said
had a black background.

The decoration at the top was found near the Pantheon.
