There are illustrated panels on three side of the plaque section. A six pointed star occupies the corner niche and the panels provide abstract illustrations of the leaves and stem of a flower which meet in the middle of the bottom panel.
Remark
The tympanum contains five images. The center point is an oval face with a pointed bottom which is like a map pinpoint. To the left and right of it are a star-like design segmented into eight triangular shapes (like a pie). Four X crosses are two to the side of the center face and two along the bottom. Also along the bottom are some abstract shapes like blades of grass.
