- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- skull
- Border
- A thin two-line border encircles the entire stone. The tympanum and tablet section are both delineated by a single line border. There are illustrated panels found on three sides of the tablet section. The illustrations are of a traditional flower in the upper corners trailed by a long stem with leaves. The two sides work their way down independently and meet in the middle of the bottom panel.
- Remark
- The large skull shows a move away from the older light bulb shape. It assumes a more realistic skull shape, oval instead of round eye sockets, triangular nasal cavity, and teeth in a more base-like shape. The wings on either side have six layers. The top design which denotes heaven has the flower-pinwheel design at its center and wave-like imagery bi-directionally emanating from both sides.
