- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- A two-line border covers the outer edge of this stone. A three-line border is found over the top arch of the tympanum. Illustrated side panels display the plant stems and leaves but the corners that usually picture the flower have succumbed to time. From the small segment on the upper right and the ones pictured in the tympanum, it appears they were the pie-slice type.
- Remark
- The tympanum utilizes three design elements. An oval face with primitive eyes, nose, and mouth forms the central image. Pie-shaped flowers to either side overwhelm the two plants found at the middle of the bottom.
