Description:

On the north wall of the kitchen, near the hearth, was an arched niche. The niche sat 1.10m above the floor. Flanking the niche opening were painted altars, aflame, towards which a yellow serpent moved to amongst plants and flowers. Remnants of red paint can be seed around the niche opening as well as framing the scene.
