iron gates
Heavy wrought barriers
Iron gates are gates made of iron, typically wrought iron, often featuring decorative scrollwork or bars.
They mark entrances to estates, cemeteries, parks, and gardens, suggesting both security and grandeur: The old iron gates creaked as we pushed them open.
Figuratively, iron gates can represent barriers or thresholds: the iron gates of death. (Capitalized Iron Gates is a gorge on the Danube River.)
