- There is a border around the entire central portion of this stone. Along the tympanum's dome, there are tab-like images around the edge. At the stone's shoulders, they morph into a rope-like image. On either side of the tablet are multi-tiered columns with a round ball capping it off on top. These are meant to personify bed posts.
