Door, Masmak Fort

I had never actually seen this front door before because it has been open in the past, but during Ramadan the hours of operation of this now-museum have changed radically, from like 6 p.m. until 1 a.m., so it was closed and visible for once.

Another view of this historic fort in the center of old Riyadh:

What a wonderful door with what must be an ancient design - the "3 whatsits" are interesting ? V
