Wall Painting Fragment

Dark red, pink, and black pigment on white plaster. The decoration, as visible, is composed of black scalloping lines and red wiggling lines with pink beneath: the design is not entirely clear. Fragment 1940.97.57 and 1940.97.58 join together at a modern cut. They share a decorative scheme with 1935.7.1. The fragment was examined and analyzed in the Straus Center in 2023. Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence imaging produced results consistent with madder lake in the pink areas.
