Evidence
"A part of the façade was covered with orange paint, and the molded cornice was painted in alternate red and blue stripes. (p. 46)"
Remarks
The two adjacent residences (1500 and 1700) shared a similar bichromy and apotropaic character (p. 46). This polychromic context is compared to the doorframe of Hatiay at Amarna, where limestone was painted red and lintel signs were painted blue (p. 44).
