Description:

In the pillar that seperated doors on the north side of the atrium was a rectangular niche. The niche sat 1.38m above the floor and was adorned with a stucco aedicula façade. While largely destroyed, the façade consisted of two engaged columns supporting a pediment. The tympanum was painted blue with a patera painted in the centre. The interior of the niche was coated in stucco and fragments of a stucco cornice are visible in photogrpahs of the niche.
