Within the upper section of the frame is a relief-carved false door with cavetto cornice, decorated with a check design painted in black, supported on relief-carved pillars. Painted in the central niche of the false door is an ibis, wearing the composite crown and standing on a neb-symbol with a winged sun-disk and uraeus behind and above it.
