In the right lower niche in the left wall a hunting scene was
painted: a pack of hounds hunting a deer. No human beings are
depicted (Ostia inv. nr. 10804).
Another painting was to be seen in the left
lower niche in the right wall.
In this one a male bust on both sides flanked by an animal was
represented. On the left side a panther and on the right side a
goat.
Left from the panther were a satirical mask and vine-leaves.
The whole painting has a rustic, Dionysian character (Ostia inv.nr.
10805 a, b en c).
