The tympanum is divided into two sections. There is a single line cutting a space for the banner running parallel to the dome shape of the tympanum. The space it occupies is approximately a third of the tympanum. The rest of the tympanum has its own space and contains the face and associated designs. There is an unusual inclusion of the woman's loose hair into the banner's space. The bottom third of the stone with the tablet and columns to the side are buried below the ground level.
