Description:

On the west wall of a room (room m) located to the right of the fauces was a pseudo-aedicula shrine with a central niche. The niche of the shrine was located 1.61m above the floor. The aedicula façade was constructed from stucco, some of which survive today, and consisted of simple columns that flanked the opening of the niche with a simple pediment on top. A red stripe was used to outline the façade as well as the edges of the niche. Further traces of red, yellow, and blue paint remained on the interior of the niche. On the wall above the pediment was a garland on a yellow background.
