According to PPM,
The plaster that covered the zoccolo was painted in a false marble with red veins in the central panel and yellow veins in the side ones.
The red vertical
veins, painted on the protruding plinth of cocciopesto, are more intense than
the yellow ones placed on the sides
(Le venature
verticali rosse, dipinte sullo zoccolo sporgente di cocciopesto, sono piu
intense di quelle gialle poste ai lati
L’intonaco che
copre la parete in opera incerta con cantonale in laterizi, era nello zoccolo a
falsi marmi con venature rosse nel pannello centrale e venature gialle in
quelli laterali.)
