Wall Painting Fragment

Roman

The white ground of this fragment is punctuated with a yellow band that serves as a groundline. On this groundline, stands a composite candelabrum figure rendered in red paint with delicate white highlights. The motif's base consists of two curved volutes while the upper, figural portion has two arms, one holding a dish.
