According to Boyce, in the first room on the left of the atrium, in the north wall near the north-east corner, was an arched niche
(h.0.60, w.0.35, depth irregular but averaged about 0.25, height above the floor 1.35), with heavy ledge projecting (0.20) from the surface of the wall.
The interior of the niche was coated with white stucco and outlined with red stripes in harmony with the decoration of the walls of the room.
