The lintel is framed with strong linear molding, supported by squared jambs that culminate in expressive carved lion mask corbels—symbols of strength and guardianship. The limestone surface shows a mellow, time-worn patina, enriched with subtle tones of honey and ochre. Deeply set cornice lines and tooth-like detailing beneath the lintel give the piece a refined structural rhythm, perfectly suited for interiors seeking character and gravitas.
