transom
Window above door
A transom is a horizontal beam or bar across a window or door, or the small window above it.
In nautical use, the transom is the flat surface at the stern of a boat.
The phrase over the transom describes unsolicited manuscripts arriving at publishers—from the image of material tossed through the small window above an office door.
