Item Details
Description
1st century A.D. Fragments of wall plaster with rendered surface painted red with white detailing to the edge; impression of timber laths to the reverse. Cf. Hakanen, V., 'VI Wall Plaster Fragments' in Berg, R., Kuivalainen, I., Domus Pompeiana M. Lucretii, IX,3, 5.24, The inscriptions, Works of Art and Finds from the Old and New Excavations, Vantaa, 2019, pp.196-224, figs.3-4. 598 grams total, 66-98 mm (2 5/8 - 3 7/8 in.).

Acquired in the 19th century. Ex Jeger collection, Switzerland.

These small fragments seem to belong to the second style of Roman painting, red panels representing highlight and shadow, decorated with vegetal interlaces. Some panels were probably framed by a red grenade fillet. A fragment shows alternate blue and red colour over a cream background, maybe pertinent to a socle. [5, No Reserve]
