- An arch is found right below the border at the top of the tympanum. The winged face that fills the is highly detailed although it is obscured by the heavy layer of lichen. We can still make out the five layers of feathers on the top section of the wings and the long trailing feathers at the bottom. The face is obscured by lichen but there is obviously a wig on the face.
