- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- A two-line border is present along the outer edge of this stone. There are three illustrated panels next to the tablet section. A circle in each upper corner depicts the flower whose stems and leaves are in the two panels to the left and right of the tablet section. The bottom panel has a helix-like design with an eye in the middle. The tympanum has a three-line, two-border line over its arch.
- Remark
- The tympanum displays three design elements. The face in the center of the arch's top is an early depiction with minimal realism, using only basic shapes for the mouth, eyes, and nose. The two, eight point stars on the left and right look like water wheels. The sprig of a plant on the bottom line is a common image.
