Description:

On the western wall of the kitchen space was a small cult painting. This painting, while very faded, depicts a pair of Lares. The Lares could be seen holding rhyta and situlae. The figure on the right is better preserved, with only the head of the left Lar remaining. The figures are outlined by an uneven red square.
