Details on the Inscription of the Western Gate of Moria

Anyway I had to stretch the whole thing, because in the original proportions you need to have a door of 140 cm width. So the columns and trees at the side are lengthend somewhat.
Beside of that I'll use adhesive film with the look of etched glass, so that light can shine through (translating word-by-word it's called sandblasting effect film, don't know how it's called in english)

So it has the proportions more of a door than a gate, but I can't change that

But the initials seems to be correct, even they are somewhat "squiggly" (Sindarin in the mode of Beleriand, not the standard-mode):
