Warscher described this photo as –
I.2.3 “Il
triclinio (h): una specie di piccolo vestibulo a sinistra (nord) è ornato con
due mezzocolonne di tufo scannelate.
Non è rimasto
niente nè della pittura del Genio familiare che libava, nè del dipinto del
gallo sull’ara.
In connessione
con la colonna intercalata nel muro nord della prima camera a sinistra
dell’atrio (photo no.8) facciamo attenzione che nel muro occidentale del
triclinio sono intercalati due tamburi d’una colonna. Forse il proprietario ricostruendo la casa
dopo il terremoto dell’anno 63 ha acquistato una colonna, due tamburi e anche
due mezzocolonne scannellate”.
Quoting Sogliano, no.58 on page 18, she described:
Cella penaria: “Serpente
che si accosta all’ara imbandita di offerte; al di sotto piante palustri e al
di sopra tre piccoli festoni di foglie, sormontati ciascuno da un uccelletto”.
See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: Giannini. (p.18, no.58)
See Warscher T., 1935. Codex Topographicus Pompeianus: Regio I.2. (no.11), Rome: DAIR, whose copyright it remains.
(translation: I. 2.3 "triclinium (h): a small vestibule on the left (north side) was adorned with two fluted tufa half-columns.
There remained nothing of the painting of the family Genius making the offering, nor of the painting of the cock painted on the altar.
In connection with the column inserted in the northern wall of the room to the left of the entrance hall (photo no. 8) we draw attention that in the west wall of the triclinium were interspersed two column drums.
Maybe the owner by rebuilding the house after the earthquake of the year 63 had bought a column, two drums and also two fluted half-columns”.
Quoting Sogliano, no. 58 on page 18, she described:
Storeroom: "Serpent approaching the altar table laid with offerings; marsh plants below and three small garlands festoons of foliage above, each surmounted by a bird”.)

According to Jashemski, the small vestibule on the north side of the garden (excavated 1873) was decorated with remnants of tufa columns brought from another site.
