The domineering motif of the carving is a mihrab – a niche in the wall of a mosque that points in the direction of Mecca. The door’s composition consists of three horizontal fields. The upper field exhibits three finely carved squares: the central one has two mihrabs which can also be viewed as two human figures. Quite possibly, this square can be considered as the main element of the door’s design. The two square images on both sides of it resonate with the squares of the middle horizontal field, and the lower field also features the repeating mihrab shapes. We can ascertain that the spiritual connotation of the mihrab appeals for the protection of the living space behind the door.
