Aediucla, Niche, Stucco Relief
Description:
Structural remains found in the garden of the house indicate the presence of an aedicula shrine. Materials found included pieces of wall paintings, stone cornices, mouldings, and a base. The structure is believed to have had a central apsed niche, of which the interior walls were painted in imitation marble, flanked by two red painted columns. The style of painting matches that of the third style. Above the niche sat a stucco pediment with egg and dart moulding. The location of the shrine within the excavated area of the property is unclear.
