In the west wall of the kitchen was a rectangular niche. The niche sat 1.0m above the floor and was surrounded by cult paintings. These paintings included a flaming tripod adorned with garlands beside which stood the Genius holding a cornucopia and patera. On the left of the Genius stood the tibicen, with the camillus on the right holding taeniae. On either side of this group were the Lares. On the back wall of the niche were the two serpents, one red and one yellow, with an atlar of imitation marble in between them. Traces of earlier unidentifiable figures were visible through fallen plaster.
