| Commentary | Dipinto of two human heads, possibly males, located on the back wall of Bay 20, in the upper right quadrant. This graffito is in very poor condition: large lacunae in the plaster and widespread fading make it difficult to identify the figures. To the left is a face, possibly in profile, looking to the right. The oval of the face and the wavy shoulder-length hair are the more recognizable elements. The head to the right is fully frontal. Most of the details have disappeared; however, notable is the hairdo of curly hair on which lies a wreath. |
