Die Funktion der ausgemalten Räume ist bislang nicht geklärt, doch legen Indizien und Fundstücke wie eine kleine Ziege aus Gold eine kultische Verwendung nahe. Auch Trink- und Spendengefäße in Tierform lassen einen religiöse Hintergrund vermuten.

%%lang,english
The function of the painted rooms is not yet known, but indicators and found pieces like a little goat out of gold are reason to believe that they were used for ritual purposes. Also drink- and donationvessels in animal-shape let assume a religious background.
