Border: The tympanum exhibits a three border made of thing lines. The outermost border runs from one corner of the domed tympanum to the other with each encircling the six armed stars there. The second border in follows the outermost one but it drapes over the circle surrounding the star and ends in a coil at each termination. The innermost border runs from one coil to another, both of which are located to the side of the head design. The tablet section has a thin width two line border and three panels, one on the bottom and two on the side. The panels are illustrated with cascading imagery. The shoulders of the stone are decorated with another encircled six armed star.

Remark: The tympanum utilizes primitive yet common imagery. The balloon shaped head is detailed with a simple straight line and two circles.
