A second cubiculum, in the same house, has been selected as affording a specimen of the contrary style of decoration, being highly charged with colour distributed in panels. It may be observed that this wall has been arranged purposely for the admission of a bed, which occupied the space of two panels on the right, so as to leave the yellow portal and its two side compartments a perfectly regular design, not interfering with the couch. It would be difficult to account for this seemingly extraordinary disposition of the panels without considering this circumstance. The chamber is, like the other, singularly small, not exceeding eight feet in length, and calculated only for the purposes of a cubiculum or bedroom.

The ornamental honeysuckle, or lotus, with its combinations, in the same plate, is from one of the later excavations, and may be found applicable to the decoration of modern furniture.
