Description:

Based on a drawing of the building from before 1778, there was a cult painting present on the eastern pillar between the entrances. This painting depicted two serpents meeting at a cylindrical altar. The altar was furnished with a pine cone. Below the serpents were plants. There is no trace of this cult painting today so its exact location is uncertain.
