I.4.25 Pompeii. c.1930. Room 19, painting of aviary structure from east end of south wall of great triclinium of I.4.25. According to Van Buren - “the proportions of the whole, and the curving lines at the top, are copied from a painting in yellow on black, showing a structure similar in design [to VII.7.16 aviary] though presumably differing in function, in I.iv.25, on the wall to the right as one enters the great triclinium which opens at the north-east corner of the peristyle.” See Van Buren, A. W. 1932. Further Pompeian Studies in Memoirs of American Academy in Rome, vol.10, 1932, Pl.1,2. (p.10-13 below). See Carratelli, G. P., 1990-2003. Pompei: Pitture e Mosaici: Vol. I.
