DescriptionPilaster or pier of wall extending only a short distance from the trench section. Made of reticulate masonry with cubiliae of 6.8-8.9 cm height. Covered on three exposed sides with a gray plaster preparation and on the north face with a white plaster finish with fresco of a horizontal red stripe 33 cm from the floor. The wall is broken at its max height and the portion in the trench is badly broken.
ObservationsAppears on alignment with 6091 and is of the same construction. Under the plaster on the north face, the wall appears to have been broken previous to the application of the plaster, and it may have originally extended to SU 6091.
