From the ancient Roman Villa San Marco in Stabiae, this fresco depicts a woman in a peplos with a silver offering tray.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The peplos-clad woman in this fresco is labeled as an 'offerant', which is appropriate since she's carrying a silver offering tray with herbs, food, and other implements to perform a ritual offering to the gods. Found in the diaetae ('day rooms') facing the gardens at the ancient Villa San Marco, in Stabiae. The villa was destroyed by the same eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in 79 CE.
