According to Boyce, at the rear of the second room on the east side was an arched structure.
Boyce said according to Mau, this may have been a lararium or merely a hearth.

Boyce gives the reference Rom. Mitt., ix, 1894, 58.

According to NdS, on the east wall of the rear room a painted landscape was seen (1.05 high x 0.93 wide) (Bull. p.275 and following).
The usual shrine was seen with its relative sacred tree by a river; in the shrine – a female idol was recognisable.
On each of the
two bases flanking the steps of the shrine stood a herm, as it seems.
Before the temple
was an altar decorated with garlands on which were placed two oars (two torches
according to Mau), towards the right was the figure of a praying woman. In the
river, which Mau had seen less clearly, seven boats were able to be seen with
sufficient certainty, painted with a glimpse, in one of which were two rowers
in clear tunics and with low hats on their heads.
The painting of the landscape was damaged in the lower left corner.
