Description
A chamber at one side of a bathing pool. It may have been a changing room. Three holes above the doors to the chamber adjacent to this small pool would have had jet attachments to provide a shower-like source of water. It is thought that the walls of the chamber would have been painted. The steps are flanked by guardstones carved with two pots of abundance and small makara balustrades.
