The same decoration extended onto the wall on each side of the niche, where apart from the plants, was a painted bird. Above the niche was a garland, on the left side was seen a part of a figure of a Lar, the only part that remained of the Lararium painting. In the floor of the niche, near the back wall, was a square hole for the base of a statuette.
