The arch’s apex features the letter ‘G’ within a radiant sunburst, symbolizing Geometry or the Great Architect of the Universe, while the floor displays a black-and-white checkerboard pattern signifying duality and moral balance. Small inset panels at the pillar bases show additional allegorical imagery, including a pyramid and landscape scene.
