According to PPP and Giacobello, on the east wall of the kitchen above the bench was a lararium, now completely disappeared.
According to PPP, the Lararium was shown with altar, offerings, a Lar, and a decayed serpent.
According to Giacobello, in the upper part was the figure of the Genius sacrificing near an altar.
He was assisted by two people, presumably the camillus and the tibicine.
On his left, was a painted Lar with his arm held high, near to him was a large ham.
Upon discovery, the serpent near an altar in the lower zone was only partially conserved.
