Description

A tall arch frames a doorway with a dark door, its surround covered in tiled geometric panels. Two people wrapped in pale hooded robes cross the flat paved ground: one stands near the left door jamb, and a larger figure in the right foreground walks away from the camera. Dark hanging fringes hang from the top of the arch, and a patterned panel is set into the wall on the right.
