Description
Fragments of murals documented in room number 11 of the Domus, which correspond to a second Pompeian style. These modest paintings were probably the work of a local artist or workshop. They show a pictorial decoration that draws a grey blue base, with splashes in a maroon colour, trying to imitate marbling. Over this base, a fine red line and green band, separate the base from the central body of the decoration. The central body is formed by white- beige rectangles, which are bounded by a pink band and a thin black line; inside the rectangle another smaller rectangle is drawn with a thin red line and a plant motif is painted at the top of the second rectangle. The rectangles that make up the main body of the composition are separated by a thick black stripe, on which a plant motif is repeatedly printed, similar to those at the top of the interior rectangles, separated by a sequence of dots.
