- Border
- Despite the missing sections, it is clear that the tympanum including both a two line medium width border plus, at the top, at arch. Unfortunately we cannot tell if the pine cone shaped flame was included since that is missing (and that symbol kept shrinking with time). Once the two line border is past the arch, it redirects itself inward towards the stone's center. The tablet section is supported by the commonly found pillars and arch which define the shapes in that section of the stone.
