Fresco fragments (7), A.D. 50-79. Additional Info: Fragment from the upper zone of a frescoed wall with architectural motifs on black ground; decorative elements continue to the left on 72.AG.78.3. On an illusionistic gold cornice, a gold Apollonean tripod, flanked by two acanthus volutes at its base, supports a kithara. Two gold plant-like rods cross above a palmette on top of the kithara. Above these, a decorative band of blue leaf motifs in outline continues to the upper edge of the fragment. Just below the central ring of the tripod, a green horizontal leaf band runs in both directions, off the edge of the fragment.
