Border: There is a thin width two line border that circumvents the entire stone. On the tympanum, there are two (2) more borders. Both originate and terminate in the tympanum within depicted spools. The next interior border runs for one lower spool to it's opposite on the other side of the tympanum. Over that space, it outlines the six armed double stars in the corner of the tympanum, runs over the dome to the other side and outlines the other double star in the corner to its other spool. The same happens on the innermost border but the spools are located on either side of the face. Single stars are found on the stone's shoulders, below which are illustrated panels. These panels run along the side and bottom of the tablet. As with other panels, the origination points are below the shoulders with a merge point in the center of the bottom panel. The illustration represents similar spools and lines as in the tympanum, but placed in contrasting directions. Later in the period, these become more derivative of water or wind.

Remark: The tympanum designs are primitive but common. The face is balloon-shaped and includes only simple shapes to denote features.
