Description:

In the rear kitchen, in the northeast corner of the room, was a cult painting. It sat above the hearth. On the north wall, the painting featured the Genius holding a cornucopia and pouring a libation onto an altar from a patera. The altar was furnished with offerings. On the east wall was a burning altar with the Lares holding rhyton and patera on either side. The property was destroyed in WWII and so the cult painting is no longer preserved.
