The image displays a weathered ancient fresco or shallow relief carving on a wall in Pompei, Italy. The central subject is an erect phallus with distinct testicles, framed by an aedicula, a small shrine-like architectural structure. The aedicula is composed of a tiered, stepped base, two vertical pilaster-like supports, and a triangular pediment. Above the pediment, a smaller, upright phallic element with two spherical objects at its base is visible. Two additional spherical objects are positioned on the pediment itself, one on each side. To the right of the central phallus, a stylized hand with splayed fingers extends from the background, pointing towards the phallus. The artwork exhibits significant degradation, with extensive loss of plaster, visible cracks, and remnants of reddish-orange pigment within the background areas of the aedicula. The structural elements and phallic symbols are primarily rendered in muted tones of grey, beige, and off-white, characteristic of aged plaster or stone. The texture of the wall is rough and uneven, with the upper portion of the image showing a darker, more textured background, possibly a ceiling or overhang.
