The marble decoration in the garden of the House of the Gilded Cupids included a set of four relief marble slabs set on high pillars. The pillars terminated in stylized capitals and were decorated with a high-relief pattern on the main side, while in lower relief on the other one. Each pillar was surmounted by a marble slab with both sides decorated with motifs inspired by theatre. The slab too has the main side carved in high relief and the opposite one in very low relief, conveying an almost pictorial effect.
