Description:

Located opposite another cult space on the west wall of the counter room was a rectangular niche. This niche sat much higher than its opposite, sitting 2.10m above the floor. The interior of the niche was coated in stucco, and the niche had a projecting tile base. It sat right above the red-painted dado that ran around the room. There were four arched niches above this niche, likely used as lamp holders.
