This is a remarkably high and narrow false door. It consists of two outer doorjambs, a relief showing the offering table, a lower lintel, two inner doorjambs, a rolled-up mat, and a door niche. The upper lintel is missing. The false door is decorated with figures and inscriptions in raised relief which has been partly left unfinished. There are traces of paint.
