General description of the door frame
This single door resembles the door connecting the porch to the vestibule in its dimensions, position and mode of construction and it had a conglomerate threshold and massive wooden doorjambs.The surface of the threshold was smooth and there was no pivot hole so that if the door was closed at all it must have been by means of a curtain.
