General description of the door frame
It is the door-opening leading from Room/Corridor Xχ to Room XXVIII (Ceremonial Hall). The preserved vertical imprints on both sides of the door-frame are the result of restoration work. There is a vertical imprint at the nothern corned of the SW jamb pier and another exactly opposite at the western corner of the NE jamb pier. The infill of both is of mud-brick, while the latter is "defined" by the rubble stone cladding of the wall on its SW side.
