Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents

Fresco from the Villa of Poppea in Oplontis. Here we see a basket, probably with strawberries and some other food. Still lifes like that were popular in Pompeii, but this one is remarkable for its degree of preservation and artistic quality. It is unclear what the transparent material covering the fruits is, it appears to reflect light and does not show the characteristic patterns of thinly weaved cloth.
