Traditional Pintu Pagar - 4

Pintu pagar No. 13 has 3 sections of panels, and like pintu pagar No. 2, is completely made of solid wood.

This house is still has a pendant lamp hanging from the ceiling in front of the doors, which lends a touch of nostalgia.

Pintu pagar No. 14 contains 4 sections of panels, of which the section second from the top consists of glass (?).  The design is similar to pintu pagar No. 11, but it is a lot less elaborate without the carvings.

Similar to pintu pagar No. 13, there is a pendant lamp here, and the design of the lamp appears to have been decades old.  I wonder if the lamp is the original lamp installed when this unit was built.

Interesting, the topmost panels of the main doors had the han character 福 in bas relief, signifying the occupants' wish for blessings as they reside in the unit.

Pintu pagar No. 15 contains 4 sections of panels, of which the second topmost panel consists of oval glass (?), which is rather unusual.
