Description:

Located on the north wall of the room located near the kitchen was an arched niche that sat 1.60m above the floor. The interior of the niche was coated in fine white stucco and decorated in colourful spots of green and red. The niche was set near the east end of the wall, directly opposite the entrance. As the shrine is not preserved today, the exact location of this shrine is not certain.
