Description:

Located on the east wall of the kitchen was a cult painting, placed above the hearth. While mostly destroyed, two lares can just be seen holding rhyta and situlae. In the centre of the Lares was an unrecognisable green object, likely an altar. This painting is noted to be unusual as it only used a limited colour palette of red, green, and yellow.
