The Chamber Door
The beautiful main door of the Chamber is elegantly embellished and it is made of copper and is silver - filmed. This door which measures 12 feet by 12 feet, gives a startling three dimensional effect. The door is inscribed, in the style of ancient rock inscriptions the Preamble to the Constitution of Sri Lanka in Sinhala, Tamil and English. On the borders are carved attractive lotus designs and decorative motifs which depict the art of ancient Sri Lanka. The rear of the door carries a floral design from an ancient Sri Lankan canopy in the British Museum.
