Part of a carved wooden archway. This part consists of a long rectangular piece of wood, made up of planks which form an outer border and divides the piece into three sections; one large central rectangular piece, and two outer square sections. Within the two outer frames, a thinner piece of wood has been inserted. There is a third thin piece of wood which may have fit in the centre, but does not seem to be large enough.This part may sit behind part 12, with the framed sections supporting the many individual pieces of wood within this piece.
