An old carved door to the Jame Mosque in the Semnan's traditional Bazar.
There existed 2 knobs on the old fasioned Persian doors: The right one which looked like a handle for the men and the one one the left for the women. This one is for the women and the one who is going to open to door notifies that there is a man or a woman behind the door!
