The doorway itself is richly carved with panels, garlands, and sculpted heads. In front of the doorway a raised platform holds robed figures standing and seated around a central table or altar, with smaller groups of people gathered nearby on the steps and along the lower floor. The scene is rendered in fine line work, hatching, and crosshatching that define architectural details, drapery, and ornamental carving.
