- Border
- The arch holding the tablet forms the major organizational element on this stone. Along with supporting the tablet, it also supports the tympanum.
- Remark
- The design of each element is unusual. The face is evolving from oval to realistic. The keepsake frame supports the face. The face is smiling but most other features are lost to time. The eyes have pupils, and the nose is out of proportion. There are two mirror imaged plants or trees to either side of the face both of which spring from the upper arch between the two columns.
