A pair of double-leaf wooden doors is set within a vertical green-gray frame. Each door leaf features four stacked rectangular panels with golden-brown classical motifs on a cream background. The large central panels depict figures amidst scrolling patterns, while smaller panels show winged figures and urns. A rectangular transom sits above the doors. Muted tones and weathered surfaces characterize the construction, highlighting the formal, symmetrical ornamentation and faded wood grain.
