According to Boyce, on the rear wall of the niche was a painting of Epona riding a donkey.
She had blond hair and a veil falling down over the back of her head and was wearing a white tunic and white boots.
She held the red reins in her right hand. In her left she held a child in green swaddling clothes, who held his arms out to her.
On the wall of the room on either side of the niche was a painted Lar, wreathed and wearing a white tunic with a vertical red stripe.
Below the niche, a man in a short dark tunic leads two donkeys behind him.
