Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
The outer border is left in a raw state although adhering to the general shape of the stone. In the tympanum, there are two border, one thin, one thicker, that follow the dome. These have displaced the arch found in other designs. In the tablet section, There are two borders of basically the same width. We can only see three sides due to the stone settling into the ground.
Remark
The tympanum has two design elements. The border/arches we've already mentioned. The central figure of a religious personage (due to the collar and dress) has a slightly positive expression. The rendition is early with simplified shapes (eyes, nose, mouth, the generic body and the head itself).
