Structural type:

Aediucla, Wall Painting

Room function:

Triclinium/Dining Room

Description:

On the west wall of the triclinium was cult painting. This comprised of an aedicula structure with a small pediment and a door of two leaves thrown open. Within the aedicula sat two figures, however, they were indistinguishable at the time of excavation. The painting was carried out in a very crude fashion, vastly different from typical cult paintings. It does not survive today.
