According to Boyce, on this west wall above a small hearth
was an arched niche with projecting floor.
Its inside walls were coated with the same rough stucco as
the walls of the room.
When Boyce wrote, he said that still standing within the
niche were three terracotta lamps.
They each had a single nozzle, two of them were ornamented
with reliefs, one of the sun, one of an eagle.
Also found there was a small saucer-like dish.
