Unusual place for coffee pots

Once again I was attracted by this imposing gate, although I had photographed it more than a year and a half ago (below picture). This time I had a closer look and noticed it was decorated with coffee pots!

I will again have to try to catch up with commenting during my workday -- just too much to do in the morning these days.

A wider view of this gate, taken on a previous visit to Diriyah:

The whole door area is quite interesting and I love that the horizontal pieces are not exactly symmetrical.
