Located on the west wall of the kitchen (which was a bakery) was an arched niche. The niche sat 1.32m above the floor, directly above a masonry basin. The niche had a projecting tile base. The interior as well as a panel around the niche was coated in stucco and decorated with green, red, and yellow spots. On the back wall of the niche was a depiction of Vesta and Vulcan standing on either side of a burning altar. Vesta was depicted holding a dish and pouring a libation over the altar. Vulcan was depicted holding his tongs and a hammer. On the right wall was a donkey. Flanking the niche opening were the Lares carrying rhyta and paterae. Below the niche was a single serpent, a ham, and meat on a spit. Only the paintings on the interior of the niche survive today.
