According to Jashemski -
Boyce reported there was a garden painting on the north (?) wall, and in front of it was a masonry altar with a step on the front of it.
Boyce said the wall was painted with trees, plants and birds.
The altar was coated with white stucco and decorated with the following painted objects.
On the front side, a shallow dish with fruits and a pine cone.
On the left side, two trees with an altar between them, with the attributes of Diana around it, a crown, a bow, a quiver, two hunting spears, two dogs and a torch.
On the right side, a rural shrine scene consisting of a column and capital, and on the top of the capital a basket containing two rhyta, a jar, a phallus-like object covered with a red cloth; across the field was painted a thyrsus.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p. 69)
According to Jashemski, on the south wall was a badly preserved painting with plants and birds that were still faintly visible in l993.
