Small panelled wooden door featuring a centrally inset, bordered, arch-shaped panel which has been carved in high relief with a sheaf of wheat. An iron shield-shaped lockplate is tacked to the proper left of the door and a pair of hinge cutouts are set into the proper right edge of the door. Both lock and hinges are missing. The wood appears to be oak and all panels are pinned together with wooden pins. Pencilled to the reverse of the central panel is 'Souvenir / of Cloth Ypres / 1917'. There are splits to the wood in the upper panel. The finish to the reverse of the door is distinctly redder than the front.
