- face with ornamentation
- Border
- A dual-line border follows the outer edge of this stone and segments the tympanum and the tablet sections. The tablet section also incorporates a beveled edge to further accentuate its information.
- Remark
- The tympanum has three design elements. The very realistic face benefits from a later-period design with details showing a high degree of evolution. The unfurled wings help fill the space and focus attention on the face. In the corner, two plants further focus attention on the central face image.
