- There is a thick two line border around the circumference of this stone. The tablet is framed by a gabled two section border. The outer border morphs on the left and right into plants that blossom at the stone's shoulders.
- Remark
- The face in the tympanum is harrowing. It is an early period depiction with a oval head, round eyes, crude triangular nose, eyebrows (that look like a prefrontal lobotomy) and a straight across mouth. There are plants to the face's left and right.
