| Commentary | Damaged dipinto of the sails of a ship, located at the center of the back wall of Bay 32. The drawing is damaged by lacunae in the plaster both at the top and the bottom, and also by some fading in the ink. No mast or hull is preserved. The sail is decorated with a lattice motif, possibly inspired by the rigging. The hulls of two other ships (D32.2) are visible at the top right corner of the sail. |
