Tympanum
skull
Border
The beveled edge of this stone is incorporated with the two line, thin width border around its edge. The tablet section has a single line border around its circumference. There are also illustrated panels around three sides of the tablet section. The design is configured along three points which are signified by triple level circles. There are two at the two of the two side panels and one in the middle of the bottom panel. The tableau is continuous through the panels and uses abstract floral-like designs some of which morph into nautilus-like swirls.
Remark
The tympanum displays a full height skull from the middle period. The shape of the skull is moving away from the lightbulb shape although the eye sockets and triangular nasal cavity are still rooted in the past. The wings are single quill, multiple segment design arranged to fill the space.
