On the south wall of the atrium was an arched niche, sitting 1.34m above ground. The niche had a stuccoed tile base and an aedicula like frame around the opening. This was comprised of two engaged stucco columns flanking the niche with an band of egg and dart stucco moulding outlining the upper curve of the niche. The painting on the back wall depicted Bacchus holding a thyrsus and patera. A small panther was painted near the foot of Bacchus. Bacchus was framed in an arch of grapevines. The ceiling of the niche was decorated with bunches of grapes. Under a red line was a depiction of a large serpent emerging from a hole in the corner of the lower panel. A small plant with flowers was painted in the lower corner. The different panels of the painting appeared to have been separated by a thin red line. The painting has been dated to the late third style.
