Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
There is a simple two line medium width border that covers the circumference of this stone. Illustrated panels inside this border are found on the left, right and bottom of the tablet section. They are illustrated with cascading imagery of a more watery fashion. There are three (3) counterpoints; a star at the top of the right and left sides and a middle design on the bottom.
Remark
The judge figure in the tympanum is placid as opposed to the condemning expressions on other examples. His face is shaped naturalistically with cheeks and a chin. His nose is in proportion and his mouth is neutral in expression. The wings are simple, but artfully portrayed. Single quill, multiple segmentations are further shaped by a strong lead edging.
