VIII.7.28 Pompeii. Two frescoes from the zoccolo of the walls of the Ekklesiasterion.
A pair of frescoes from the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, originally located on the lower walls of the goddess's devotees meeting room. 
Both with maritime themes, they present central figures-respectively horse and Sea Dragon with snake body-flanked by two dolphins.
Now in the Museu Nacional/UFRJ Brazil. 
Following the disastrous fire at the Museum on 3rd September 2018 these may have been destroyed.

According to PPM,

“on the third pilaster from the north end, the remains of painted plaster would have been seen, showing a slender golden Corinthian column with a marine centaur above. This was part of a frieze with nereids and dolphins painted on a red background.

The base of the wall behind the column was painted as imitation marble, while behind the golden columns, it was painted green.”
