Warscher, quoting Giornale degli Scavi N.S.III, 1874, no.21, A. Sogliano, p.8/9, described this small room as probably an oecus, “room f” with flooring of mattone pesto, its wall painted yellow.

The wall at the rear (north wall) had in its centre a small landscape nearly vanished, and the others each offered a painting of a bird.
