Niche

Room function:

Unknown

Description:

In west wall of a rear room of the house, perhaps a bakery space, was an arched niche. The niche had an irregular shape, and sat 1.20m above the floor. The walls of the niche were painted pink with spots of multiple colours. The vaulted ceiling of the niche was decorated with star-like flowers. The actual location of this cult space is uncertain, however, Boyce did note that it could be found in the property at entrance #12. It is unknown if this shrine survives today.
