Wall fragment, slightly convex. Max. dim. 0.051.

Symposion. The fragment preserves the top of the leg at the head of the couch with the volutes and ovules and a bit of the mattress and pillow. Near the bottom of the fragment is a little of the top of the table in front of the couch. The horizontal lines at the right break may be folds of drapery. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: area below volutes.

Normally, the table is set well in from the legs of the couch, so that there is some space between the two pieces of furniture. The table on 232 appears to pass behind the leg of the couch. A good parallel for this is the table on Villa Giulia 3583 by the Nausicaa Painter, which shows a komast reclining to right and seen from the back (ARV2 1109, 27). The symposiast on 232 may also have reclined in a similar position.
