- Border
- There are three borders on this stone. The outermost border runs over the tympanum dome, around the stars at the shoulders, down the sides, and across the bottom. The next border inward parallels the outer border and is depressed into the negative space rendering the inner artwork into a bas-relief presentation.
- Remark
- The tympanum has two design elements. The star at the stone's shoulders are six-sided. The face is an early simplified rendition due to its round shape, round eyes, large nose, and generic body.
