Small dipinto in red color with some black highlights, located in the eastern half of the back wall of Bay 19, toward the center. The upper portion of the graffito is quite damaged, making any interpretation of the motif difficult. The drawing seems to be composed of a lower support, shaped as a tapering small column, above which sits an inverted trapezoid. Over the trapezoid are some wavy lines in black and a small spot in red. The overall shape is reminiscent of a thymiaterion, but this identification is far from conclusive.
