face with ornamentation
Border
A two-line border fills the outer edge of this stone. The tympanum has a three-line, two borders around its space. The tablet section also has a three-line, two border around it's circumference. The set in the tympanum are the same width while the set in the tablet section have one wide border and one thin one. There are two illustrated panels on either side of the tablet section fulfilling the traditional flower with a long-leaved stem. The flowers utilize the common pie-shape.
Remark
The tympanum has five design elements. Inside of the double border, there are three sections with the left and right being mirror-imaged. The oval with a pointed bottom forms the face with very simplified facial features that are not much more than geometric shapes. Eight pointed stars occupy two circles on either side of the face. They are subdivided like the flowers on the corners. Two circles on either side of the face fill that space and corner pieces occupy the lower corners. In the space beneath the face, a single line tree exists.
