I'm curious...what's going on above the gate. I was immediately reminded me of fraternal globes.
like these...

"Globe lights bearing the symbols to indicate the various Masonic organizations in the temple,
including the triple-tau, equilateral triangle, and circle."
Or perhaps it's something as simple as Chinese lanterns above the gate. Whatever it is, I've never seen anything quite like it.
