Description:

From Herculaneum, Casa dello Scheletro (House of the Skeleton), Ins III.3. There is now a reproduction of the niche on site at Herculaneum. This building, probably the aggregation of three smaller buildings, derives its name from the discovery of human remains in a second floor room in 1831, the first found in Herculaneum. The niche was set in a wall over two rectangular water basins with a center walkway.
