According to Boyce, against the west wall of the garden stands an aedicula.
It was built upon a high masonry podium coated with yellow stucco.
The aedicula is formed by four columns, and two antae applied to the rear wall.
These support a roof with pediment.
The columns are coated with stucco and painted, the two outer ones being yellow, the two inner ones red.
The rear wall of the shrine was painted white, as if for a painting but no trace remains.
The base is adorned with a red dado and in the centre is cut a large arched recess, painted red within.
