- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- A two line border along the stone's circumference has a vary thickness. It is 2 or 3x thicker over the tympanum than the tablet section. The circular designs on the stone's shoulders also contribute to the tympanum border as a thin line extends from the circle on one side to the circle on the other while following the geometry of the tympanum. The tablet is bordered by a two line border. The initial line follows two arching gables on the top that lead to a separate platform/stage at the apex. That is where the face/wing is situated. Alone the left and right side of the table is another two line border which is filled with a tight pack of straight chisel marks along its length.
