please explain the question better - I dont understand completely
ReplyDeleteI have now been able to upload a pic
ReplyDeleteI still dont get the picture complete.
ReplyDeleteBut would seem that the (green) is not part of the doorway at all, so the only option between the two, is under the mashkof (red).
