- Border
- There is a two line medium width border over the tympanum. Once it reaches the shoulders of this stone, it decreases in width and proceeds down the sides. The two side panels are topped with concentric circle design from which flows cascading water imagery that also borders the bottom of the stone. A single concentric circle is located in the middle of the bottom.
- Remark
- The image in the tympanum is a face with a garland of curls/flowers along the top of the skull, detailed and happy eyes, a nose and mouth complete the face. A very high neck leads to the wings. The wings here aren't accurate but conceptually abstract.
