Three Cupids with objects which were no longer recognisable. (Bull. Inst. 1877, p.133)

V.1.15 Pompeii. April 2009. Looking north-east towards room “g” in bakery on north side of tablinum.
According to CTP in 1986,
“This pistrinum was severely damaged by bombs during the
bombing of September 1943.
The whole north-east portion was destroyed. One bomb partially broke up the
roadway in front of the street entrance.
This has now been restored in part, whereas the four rooms to the north-east and part of the north perimetral wall have not yet been restored.”

According to Warsher, this photo is from V.1.15, the identical one below shows it as being from V.1.14.
As these photos were taken before the bombing in 1943, either of these locations could be correct.

“South wall, west part.
This stretch of preserved wall shows that the location of the door is to be found to the east, presumably by the east end of the wall.
The foundation gives no indication to the exact location of the door.”
