Description:

On the east wall of the rear room was a cult painting. This was carried out on a white background which had been marked off by a red border. It featured two serpents in the centre, one on each side of an embedded tile. Above the serpents were the Lares, each holding a rhyton and a patera. In the centre below the serpents was a kantharos with a small bird sitting on its rim. The painting is not preserved today.
