There is a medium thick two line border that surrounds the entire stone unbroken in its continuity. It thickens in the bend around the shoulders otherwise it keeps the same basic width around the stone. The second border is slightly thinner and also surround the entire stone including the space between the tympanum and tablet. The third border is as thick as the outer border, and forms a border directly over the tympanum and also forms the shoulders (which are blank, but shaped to accentuate the stone's overall shape.
Remark

Her face is oval, surrounded by a circle layer (cloak/shawl). Her eyes are round with shaped eyelids. The eye lashes mark the origin of the nose structure which is generally triangular and very wide at its base. Her mouth is noncommittal and straight across.
