Two fresco fragments. The first depicts a woman seated on a rock. Dressed in an ochre-yellow peplos and a blue himation, she holds a snake in her left hand and raises her right arm. An incomplete inscription in red introduces the figure. The second fragment shows a half-naked ephebe wearing a red cape. He is holding a staff and a laurel wreath. On the right is a cup with a snake, and an incomplete inscription written in red. These two fragments undoubtedly have a medical iconography. Fresco presented in a 19th century frame. ROMAN ART, 1st-3rd Centuries (Not framed). Height 26 cm x Width 31 cm
