Details from a fresco showing ancient women - A mother, two daughters and an ancilla (servant/slave girl).
This piece lives behind glass in the museum at Herculaneum; so I do apologise for the reflections visible.

Intricate fresco details including birds and a human figure. 
It appears that some of these have been deliberately defaced at some point.
