Border
A dual-line border surrounds the stone's outer perimeter. A single line delineates the tympanum. Illustrated side panels flank the tablet section including along the bottom of the stone. The pinwheel design in the upper corners has the six extremities (which evolves with star designs) and appears to be a flower with the step and leaves along the panel and along the bottom.
Remark
The tympanum is a round skull design with round eyes, a triangular nasal cavity, squared-off teeth, and a three-layer wing on each side.
