VI.7.9 Pompeii. Wall painting of the Procession of the Carpenters.   
Originally found on pilaster between entrances VI.7.8 and VI.7.9.
Now in Naples Archaeological Museum. Inventory number 8991.
See Helbig, W., 1868. Wandgemälde der vom Vesuv verschütteten Städte Campaniens. Leipzig: Breitkopf und Härtel. (1480).  
According to Leach, figures of Minerva, Mercury and Daedalus painted on its exterior pilasters (6.7.8-12), as well as another painting of a procession advertising the craft of Daedalus under the protection of Minerva and Mercury, were taken by Mau as an indication that this was a Carpenter’s workshop. 
The sign showed 3 carpenters bearing a ferculum that included a figure of Daedalus and some workmen performing carpenters’ tasks.   
A dead figure lies before Daedalus’s feet: this may well be a reference to the nephew Perdix whom the legendary artisan murdered through jealousy for his invention of the rake.   
(PPM 4, p389-91, however, suggested that the sign indicated a perfumer’s shop that dealt in spices requisite to funeral rituals).
