TOMB 16 (continuation)
The central niche in the left wall is flanked
by niches with paintings of the Fates.
In the one on the left side Clotho was depicted (now in the museum
of Ostia).
She is dressed in a purple dress and a green coat. In her hands
are a spool
and a bobbin with thread.
The niche on the right side shows a woman with a purple dress and
a dark yellow coat. Probably this is Atropos or Lachesis, although
the attributes in her hands are not clear because of the bad
condition of this painting.
