CIMRM entry

185.
Fresco (H. 0.70) in the corner of the North wall near the preceding No.
Minto, 366.
Owing to the weathered painting the representation is hardly distinguishable. It could be the figure of Aion(?) with outspread green wings pointing downwards. We could not discover a single trace of a snake which should twist itself round his body (Minto).
