Description:
Located on the southwest corner of the shop was a small arched niche. The niche sat 1.53m above the ground. Its interior was coated in stucco and was painted white with a red line as a border. A faint painting on the back wall may have once been the image of a deity. An indistinct ornament appeared on the right interior wall and base of the niche. The shrine was set into a larger white panel and was bordered again by red lines.
