Description
View of the east wall of the tablinum at the House of the Ancient Hunt in Pompeii, Italy. "The tablinum retains much of its fourth style decoration. The walls are painted to imitate sky blue carpets interspersed with architectural fantasies and mythological figures, while below faux marble panelling gives way to vignettes of hunting scenes and Nile river landscapes,"--AD 79 Destruction and Rediscovery website.
