This panel, carved on both sides, was most likely part of a decorative scheme, originally placed on a pilaster in a Roman garden. Several examples have been found in Pompeii, for two similar from the 'House of the Gilded Cupids', cf. M. Beard and C. Mattusch, Pompeii and the Roman Villa, London, 2008, nos 74-75.
