These medallions were all on a white ground.
Their colouring was very harmonious, and the whole
design of room D is very elegant.
South of D, a, was D, b, a rectangular space, 31'
by 25', bounded by a party wall on the east, south,
and west sides. This space contained the following
designs. On the extreme east was an oblong pic-
ture (D, b, 1), representing a scene in a vineyard.
Nearly in the centre of the picture a bearded goat-
legged figure, Pan, was gathering grapes from a
vine. Before him stood a winged boy, probably
Eros, extending his arms towards the same bunch.
On the extreme right, behind the goat-legged
figure, were a panther and three birds, one of
which has a string fastened round its neck.
On the left, behind Eros, was a lion galloping
towards him, and a greyhound running in an oppo-
site direction towards a hare, on the extreme left,
represented feeding on a bunch of grapes. The
colours of the animals in this scene were arbi-
trary. The panther was dark blue with yellow
spots; the greyhound also blue. The leaves of
the vine were composed of tessellce, in cubes of
green glass.
