Summary

Description
Italiano: Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (inv. nr. 9774). Da Pompeii, Fullonica di Veranius Hypsaeus (VI, 2, 31) - Affreschi da un pilastro della fullonica. Pannello con operai al lavoro, uno che spazzola un telo di lana, mentre un altro porta una gabbia di bastoncini disposti a cupola che serve a solforare con fumigazioni le stoffe al fine di sbiancarle. Sulla gabbia è appollaiata una civetta che allude alla dea Atena, protettrice dei lanaiuoli.
English: Roman fresco from the fullonica (dyer's shop) of Veranius Hypsaeus in Pompeii. Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples). The man on the left is busy brushing wool cloth. The man on the right, standing beneath a caged dome, is engaged in fabric whitening via sulphurized fumigation. An owl is perched on top of the cage, likely a symbol of Athena, protector of the lanaiuoli (i.e. companies of wool merchants).
Deutsch: Links kämmt ein Arbeiter eine Tunika, rechts trägt ein anderer Arbeiter ein Gestell aus Weidengeflecht, über das Stoffe zum Bleichen gelegt werden.
