- Border
- A medium-thick two-line border establishes the outer edge of this stone. Another two-line border runs over the upper arch of the tympanum with another two-line border inside of that border and along the bottom. There are illustrated panels on either side of the tablet section. In the upper corners, there are eight-sided pinwheel flowers with their stems and leaves pictured abstractly in the illustrated panels below.
- Remark
- In the tympanum, we find three design elements. An oval-shaped face with simplified eye, nasal, and oral cavities designs is the center-most. Two eight point starts are to the right and left of the face and are encased in their own circles. A simple rudumentary tree sits in the middle.
