Well done- very nearly right!
It would not have survived at all in Pompeii- which was incinerated , but along the coast about 10 miles is Herculaneum which was engulfed in a volcanic mudslide at the same moment which preserved wood and metal much better. This is in the Naples Archeological Museum and is in the magnificent condition that you see.
