Iron-clad oak portcullis

Iron-clad oak portcullis for a castle gateway, 3.6 m clear opening x 4.4 m: a lattice of weathered oak uprights and cross rails strapped and riveted with wrought iron, forged spike shoes, a banded head beam with two lifting staples, running in iron-lined jamb grooves; rusted shoes, bright-worn points and runners, moss on the bottom rail, scribed carpenter's marks. The grille slides up 4.4 m on a winch.
