IX.5.2 Pompeii. Lararium at the door to the kitchen and adjacent to entrance IX.5.22. May 1886. Photograph courtesy of Society of Antiquaries, Fox Collection. According to Boyce, the lararium was painted on two sides of a recess, each side bordered with red stripes.
In the centre on the east wall was an altar, between the Genius and two young men, apparently camilli. On the left, behind the camilli, stood the tibicen, of smaller proportions than the other figures. Behind the Genius was another Camillus, also small. On each side of this group of five figures, stood a Lar, larger than the other figures. Below this group, a bearded and crested serpent coiled towards the tufa altar in the corner of the east and south wall of the recess. The tufa altar had been altered to fit into its new position in the corner, and then covered with a thick layer of stucco. On the upper south wall of the recess, Vesta was painted, pouring a libation onto a yellow painted altar. At her side stood an ass wearing a wreath of leaves. Vesta held a red halter attached to the ass's muzzle. Below Vesta was a single painted plant. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.85, no.419, and Pl.16,2)
