Wall paintings: possible reconstructions of some portrait fragments

 

 

 

 

 

These images show digitised tracings of fragments, which are then placed onto a template.  This method of preliminary reconstruction allows us to better understand each fragment as part of a portrait, and, in a macro context, the different portraits found across the gallery.  The torso templates do not show the head because, as evidenced by the reconstructions below, the personages face either left or right. The scale of each fragment on this page must be seen in relation to the individual scale bar, and not in relation to other fragments. The resizing of each image necessary for web publication makes it difficult to show each fragment at exactly the same scale.
