A vertically oriented painting on a weathered wood door panel depicts three sections divided by horizontal metal bands. Centered within a scalloped arch, two women with medium skin tones face right; one wears a red dress and headpiece, the other a patterned dress. Below, a square panel shows a person riding an elephant attacked by a large cat against a red background. Lattice designs and a metal latch detail the top and bottom.
