V.2.17 Pompeii. December 2007. Looking north across shop to doorway to middle room.
According to NdS, when excavated the shop was found with a sales counter, covered with plaster imitating coloured marble and decorated with a painting (0.79 x 0.51).
The painting showed Teti (Thetis? or Tethys?) dressed in a pink robe sitting on a bearded Triton, and armed with helmet, shield and breast-plate. While she held the shield on the back of the monster with the left hand, she grasped the lance in her right-hand, that the Triton carried on his shoulders. The Triton was swimming towards the left and turning his gaze to the goddess. See Notizie degli Scavi, October 1877, (p.60)

“In Reg. V, 2, nella bottega no.17, si era scoperto il podio per la vendita, rivestitio d’intonaco imitante i marmi colorati ed ornati di un dipinto (0.79 x 0.51).
Vi si vede Teti che vestita di chitone roseo siede sopra un Tritone barbato, ed era armata di elmo, scudo e corazza; e mentre con la sinistra tiene lo scudo poggiato sul dorso del mostro, afferra con la dritta la lancia, che il Tritone porta sull’omero, nuotando verso sinistra e rivolgendo lo sguardo alla dea.”
