VIII.5.39 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 3, faded lararium painting on south wall of kitchen. On the south wall of the kitchen was a painting of Fortuna, with the usual attributes, a cornucopia, and a rudder resting on a ball.  The Genius and the Lares appear nowhere, and as a lotus blossom was painted on the forehead of the goddess, she was thought to be a form of Isis. See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan, p.341-343. See Fröhlich, T., 1991. Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten. Mainz: von Zabern, L97 on page 293 and Taf 46,2. According to Boyce, on the south wall of the kitchen beneath the window was a painting of Isis-Fortuna. This was painted on a rough rectangle of white plaster, bordered in red. The goddess stands, a wreath of leaves upon her head, the lotus flower on her forehead, her dark hair falling over her shoulders. She wears a long yellow chiton and blue mantle.
In her left hand, she held a cornucopia. In her right hand, she held a yellow rudder, the lower end of which rested upon a globe. To the right and left of her, there were large shrubs with red flowers. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.78, no.372)
