According to Fröhlich, found in the upper zone on the pilaster to the left was a painting of a male figure.

In the lower zone on the left was a painting of a ship with rowers.

A painting of a figure, possibly a Lar, was seen on the right pilaster, between VI.10.10 and VI.10.11.

Below were two serpents flanking an altar.

All the paintings have now faded and disappeared.
