Fresco

a wall painting technique in which the pigment is applied to newly plastered walls: the paint bonds with the plaster as both dry creating a very durable surface.

This is the definition given by the Pompeii guidebook.

(Sigh, as I'm typing, I got news that my aunt is 1 hr late as she's tied up with playing mahjong, totally pissed now. As we could've gone back to the Museum just now if we knew she was gng to be late) (ok la, i'm more angry that she's playing mahjong than she's late. they're infatuated with such a material need i really hate it)

Took some crazy zooms of the fresco at the Museum. lol... my mother and I couldn't figure out the annotation of the latter fresco... lol...
