According to Jashemski:
“Fiorelli mentions, but does not locate, an altar in the garden.
Trendelenburg mentions both a statue base and an altar. Neither are there today”.
See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.229).
According to Boyce, “the report in the Bull. Inst. describes a second statue base with altar in the peristyle;
Fiorelli mentions only an altar; there is nothing to be seen there today”.

According to Boyce, in these two cubicula many objects were found including jewellery and four bronze statuettes:
One was “Abbondanza” holding a cornucopia in the left hand and a patera in the right – probably the Genius -
and Minerva, helmeted and holding a spear in the right hand, and a shield on the left arm.
Also found were the two Lares, each holding rhyton and patera.

According to Bragantini, the dado would have been red, and in the middle zone of the north wall was a white central aedicula.
On both sides of it, the panels were red. The upper zone of the wall would have been white.
The panel on the west end was sub-divided by a candelabrum which formed the recess wall.
At the base of the middle zone was an azure blue line.
In the white panel, a painted female figure near an archaic herm of Dionysus, was seen.
