Summary
A gateway made for a model fort. It has two guard houses one on either side of the arch, each having arrow slit windows. A crenulated feature runs over the arch. The arch can be located on the fort base with pins at the bases of the guard houses. The archway can be closed with a red metal drawbridge that hangs from the guard houses by chains. The gateway is painted pale green and has sawdust stuck on to simulate a rustic effect. Part of a set.
