Description
The rectangular fence is flanked on one of the long sides by an inclined plane, which gives access to a high, narrow construction with a small door ajar. This building served as a latrine, with direct discharge into a pigsty compartment. The roof is slightly arched; on the side opposite the courtyard there is a small ventilation window. The short side of the enclosure flanking the latrine is covered by an outwardly sloping canopy. Inside is a figurine of a lying pig, and in front of it a small rectangular trough. The thin and inconstant display case that enlivens this model does not cover the interior of the courtyard but only the pig.
