This wooden door leaf is inlaid with ivory and ebony. It is divided into six squares; each square contains four figures that enclose the cross.

The squares are separated by a line formed of six hexagonal panels; each pair of panels is separated by a cross.

At the top of the door there are inlaid ivory inscriptions that say, "O Kings, raise up Abu Bakr and raise up the eternal doors to let the King of Grace enter."
