Indian Double Door with Metal Straps and Carved Arched Canopy, Framed

Someone wanted to make an entrance, and then wanted it remembered.

This framed double door with metal straps and carved arched canopy comes from Bikaner, Rajasthan, India, early 19th century, in carved teak and iron. Rajasthani houses and havelis are known for their heavily worked gateways. Iron straps grid the pointed doors into rows of small panels, with a chain hasp at the center. Above, a scalloped canopy of dense scrollwork projects on brackets, and the surrounding frame is carved on every face. It stands 100 inches high and 64 wide.

Knocking seems inadequate.
