- Remark
- The figure in the tympanum is in the keepsake motif of a oval picture frame held up by some mechanism or structure with a face in the middle of the keepsake. While the erosion as removed a lot of details, it is clear that the eyes were horizontally eye shaped instead of round, the nose was both triangular and an extension of the lines used for the eyebrows and the mouth was straight across.
