General description of the door frame
The preserved vertical imprints on the mud-brick door -jambs of the door-opening between Rooms XI and XV are the result of restoration. Only the rectangular lime-stone base of the SE door-jamb is preserved. The SW side of the NE wall of Room XV had possibly a rubble-stone cladding.
