In the west wall of the garden, near the southwest corner, was an arched niche. The niche sat 1.50m above the floor. Its walls were coated with white stucco and were bordered in red, the back wall adorned with a stucco cornice. On the wall to the right of the niche was a cult painting. It featured a tripod with a Genius holding a cornucopia standing to the right pouring a libation on it. The camillus and popa can be seen by the Genius. On the other side were two more figures, apparently women but not well preserved. On the adjoining south wall were further paintings. This featured the Genius again, pouring a libation on a burning cylindrical altar while holding a cornucopia. It has been argued that this double Genius indicates the worship of the Genius of the Emperor alongside that of the paterfamilias. This layer of stucco has fallen revealing an earlier layer of red stucco.
