Notes
A single door leaf bears geometric decorations based on stars and polygonal shapes in the main field. It is arranged in repeating patterns consisting of a rosette in the middle, and four sections of the central pattern in the four corners. The grooved beams form the clear geometric structure of the composition, and the spaces between them are filled by small beveled panels, and the beams and panels are connected by overlapping joints to obtain an unbreakable surface. The door appears to have originally been part of a symmetrical shape that included two rectangular panels without decoration at the top and bottom, and a large decorated part in the middle. It is possible that the door was lengthened at the bottom for another use by adding a section consisting of two rectangular panels without decoration.
