General description of the space

Trapezoidal space (2,65 - 2,80 x 2,60 m). The walls are preserved at a height of 0.55 to 1,10 m and coated in white; yet, we can spot red zones on the North wall and blue zones on the East wall. The floor is well preserved and coated with a white mortar, on which three limestone slabs are placed in the Eastern part of the room. One of the slab carries "ripple-marks".
There are two entrances, one on the North wall, leading to Space I 13 West, and one on the East wall, leading to Space I 15 b. The former carries traces of the doorframe and of a threshold.
