More common door

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

Another old, and perhaps more familiar, door in a display at the museum. As people who followed my Saudi galleries would know, the Saudis are masters in creating superb doors and gates, a tradition that had to have started with ancient ones like this.
