Pompeii Freso, Worship of Isis
A wall-painting depicting the performance of a ceremony in honor of Isis, it’s still unclear what rituals this cult entailed and their significance. In this fresco, for instance, we see a cistern of Nile water, choruses lined up singing, music and elaborate pageantry, but how all that fit together and what its message was is the real “mystery” of Isis today.
