Description:

On the south wall of the kitchen was a cult painting. This was carried out on a white stucco panel and featured two yellow serpents meeting at an embedded tile in the centre. Above the tile was painted a fire. The background was filled with plants and garlands with small birds perched on them were present across the top of the painting. The cult space does not survive today.
