The Esoteric Door
I saw this door on one of my very first walks around town in Budapest. It caught my eye immediately. Not just because of the unnecessary decoration and attention to detail (nobody really goes through the trouble to commission custom artwork like this for a front door), but because of the strange symbols rendered in iron. Working outwards from the inside, we have an Ankh, a Star of David, and a snake eating its own tail. Above the circle we have some kind of hooked cross.
What is this place? What does this mean, if anything?
Also, there is a white circular sign on the door with a fierce dog on it - it says "Biting Dog!"
UPDATE!
zeevveez informs me that this is the symbol of the Theosophical Society!
