The superb but alas badly damaged central “carpet” of this room is framed by a luxuriant acanthus scroll inhabited by birds, fruit and flowers. The scroll issues from the beards of large masks that occupy the centre of each side.

The “carpet” itself is a very successful combination of different vignettes played in and around a network formed by vines laden with grapes. The scenes are half real and half imaginary as humans, horned satyrs and small winged creatures, participate in the activities. Most of them are busy picking grapes, filling baskets and loading them onto donkeys. Intermingled with these scenes there are other portrayals of country life: hunting scenes, a man ready to pounce on a rabbit, a snake coiled around the stem of a vine, a partridge pecking on a bunch of grapes and lots of birds perched on the branches.
