Explanation:
Opção.

janelas arqueadas, que nos cumprimentam das suas paredes cinzentas de seixo desgastado


Explanation:
"De ambos os lados da entrada, vemos janelas arqueadas, que nos cumprimentam das suas paredes cinzentas de seixo desgastado."

Penso que "bow" seja uma metáfora... Talvez vendo o contexto pudesse ter mais certeza.
