Floating fresco figures from the House of Julia Felix, Pompeii

            From the triclinium (dining room) of the House of Julia Felix in #Pompeii - two floating figures in the center of a large wall fresco, with paintings of food with glass and silver vessels in the top register. There's also a painting of money and writing instruments. These two figures are very Dionysian in appearance - perhaps a maenad and a satyr? They both have wreaths on their heads, and the action is specifically erotic. The male is kissing the female’s arm, and he seems to be holding a silver kantharos (?) on his back, perhaps filled with wine.
