Discussion: Thick wall plaster covering eastern wall F.567 of building B.17. Many different replastering events could be documented with associated paintings. The latest of these paintings included geometric figures including circles and diamonds. The earlier depictions included a wide stripe (about 0.7 m heigh) of red paint situated at the lower part of the wall. Than, there were also traces of unspecified black painted ornament. All these paintings seemed to be situated between two wall posts and mostly below a horizontal moulding.
