According to the
description from Boyce, the base was covered with stucco and painted in
imitation of red and yellow marble.
Around the top of the
base ran a red stripe. In the centre of the front was embedded a white marble
slab with the inscription, below.
The lararium painting
was done on the white background of the room walls, on both sides of the
aedicula.
On the right side, two
male figures, each clad in a long white garment like the toga, stood beside an
altar.
On the left of the
aedicula three men lead a bull to sacrifice; one leading the animal by a rope,
the other two held him.
