Fiziksel açıklama
Pair of doors in painted and lacquered wood. Both consist of two small square panels at the top and bottom, with a middle oblong oblong panel, set within a moulded framework. The doors are decorated with medallions surrounding figural subjects, themselves surrounded by arabesque designs and inscriptions in Persian which border the outer mouldings of the panels.
Üretim
An inscription on the doors gives the production date as 1102 AH/1690-1 AD. However, this is believed to be falsely archaising, and a 19th Century date is more likely.
