On the wall of the kitchen was a niche which sat 1.40m above the floor. The interior walls of the niche were decorated with spots of many colours. On the wall beside the niche was a painted Lar carrying a rhyton and situla. Behind the Lar was Vulcan holding his tongs and resting upon a shield. The figures on the left side of the niche had disappeared. The exact location of this cult space is uncertain.
