The paintings below are provenanced from PAP room 16, east and north wall.

None of our photos seem to show these paintings in situ, possibly because the room was not fully excavated at the time.

On our plan, PAP room 16 would appear to be the unnumbered room on the east (right-hand side) of room 6, now in IX.12.B.
