What's the trite running joke, the Eiffel Tower or the attempt at a joke on the Eiffel Tower...

Is that gotelé all over the ceiling!?"

 

[belamyi]

Opps sorry, I meant "popcorn ceiling", for the barbarians

 

[Rickrock]

I'm pretty sure it is a stucco plaster ceiling.

 

[belamyi]

To end up looking like that...

Like people with natural Liberace hair laughing at bald people

That's not even Photoshopped or an A.I. image. There's a basin and an aperture. That's a fountain.

The funny bit is they modernized the statue's face while trying to make it look from antiquity. One wonders if it was made to order to flatter the buyer.

/\ Funnier, to me, is that larger appendages were lost.

And not even the saved toes were reattached, as the penis seems to have been.

The statue of Priapus was found in the House of the Vettii​

It is actually smaller than it looks in the first pic, also not a fountain, nothing was "modernized" just restored after excavation.

The house, one of the richest and most famous in Pompeii, is under the protection of Priapus, the god of prosperity, painted to the right of the door, symbolising the economic prosperity of the owners, the brothers Aulus Vettius Restitutus and Aulus Vettius Conviva liberti, who became rich through trade.
The appearance of the house was changed during the restructuring phase in the Augustan era (1st century BC) with respect to the traditional layout that characterises other homes, such as those of the Faun and Sallust, eliminating also the tablinum to gain more space for the large garden, full of statues with jets of water, which is the focal point of the dwelling. The more richly decorated rooms overlook the peristylium, including the living room with the frieze of Cupids which carry out the main productive activities of that time, from selling wine to cleaning clothes, cultivating flowers to harvesting, jewellery making to creating perfumes. The lararium painting is found in the kitchen area; a graffiti at the entrance of the house indicates that the prostitute, Eutychus, who was a slave offering herself for two Asses, carried out her affairs in the adjacent room, decorated with a number of erotic paintings.
Date of excavation: 1894-1895.

Thank you for that information.

The statue really looks like a casting made to display, but not the original. The finish doesnt look real, more like resin or composite marble.

And look at the face closely in your original pic. Don't you think it looks modern? If it was somehow resotred, is it not possible detail was fixed that was damaged in the face? It just doesn't look ancient. The style is too smoothed and the expression doesn't look right.

Maybe it's just the mouth and the cap:

But, which would be most likely to be found in the debris? Even if some green reeds are bigger than others.

I think big ones are a response to being surrounded by some really hawt ashes.

Maybe it's simply that you had no idea at all... or that you are being gaslighted.

Could be. It doesn't really matter. The bad landscape made it look like it was staged, and European, so it's very likely as stated, an actual Pompeii exhibit, but the statue simple looks like a reproduction, particularly the base and the face.
