According to Boyce –
On the wall to the right of the niche was the lararium painting: on the left stands a tripod of unusual form with a dark coloured vessel upon it. The Genius, standing to the right, pours a libation upon the tripod; he wears a wreath of leaves; the toga does not seem to be drawn over hs head as usual, though the preservation of the painting is poor at this point; he holds no cornucopia. Behind and to the right stand two figures: in the first plane, a camillus, also wreathed, and carrying fruit in a shallow dish; above and farther right, a popa, wreathed and carrying an axe.
To the left of the Genius are two wreathed figures apparently women, though it is impossible to be certain, for only the upper portions of their figures are preserved.
On the left side of the niche there was not room for painted figures, but on the adjoining south wall the figure of the Genius appears again, clad in white toga and pouring a libation upon a yellow cylindrical altar with a fire; he is unbearded, his flesh is reddish, and in is left hand he holds a yellow cornucopia.
This double Genius certainly has some special significance. …….
