Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face (alone)
Border
There are two different border systems on this particular stone. In the tympanum, there is a four line three border design that crosses over the dome shaped top of the stone. Each of the borders are approximately the same width. The tablet section has its outermost border that begins and ends at the two shoulders. Inside of that more general border around the tablet, there are three borders formed from four lines. The first two are equal width thin borders. Then comes a thick width border illustrated with floral designs. Finally is the line outlining the tablet.
Remark
The tympanum is dominated by a large oval face. The eyes are beginning the transition to natural but are still primitive. The same can be said of the nose which is reduced from earlier bulbous versions. His wig is very stylized, combed straight on the top, wavy below (by virtue of curlycues). A jowly face imparts a serious mien.
