- A two line order begins at the top of the stone and proceeds down the tympanum. Once it passes the arch it redirects inward and morphs into a plant with leaves and the homunculus imagery. The images are bi-radial and helps frame the top of the tablet. The tablet section is built around the 2 pillars and arch that support the gabled tablet. The detailed etchings add to the images depth and weight. The homunculus and leaves images repeat on top of the pillars in the tablet section.
