The face is dominated by a bold X built from multiple parallel ridged diagonal lines converging into sharp chevron points, a graphic, deep-relief pattern that fills nearly the full carved field, framed above by a plain horizontal band separating it from the top edge. The surface carries a lighter, weathered gray-tan patina, sun-oxidized rather than smoke-darkened, with visible age checking along the grain. At 19 inches wide, this is a narrower, more compact door than others in this batch, well suited to a smaller wall run, a powder room, or paired with another narrow single-slab piece where its bold, graphic carving can read clearly at close range.
