- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- There is a thin width two line border over the tympanum that, after hopping over the stone's shoulders, proceeds down the sides. At the stone's shoulders are a close representation of a Canterbury Cross in a circle. Below that is abstract imagery that looks like a DQ ice cream cone.
- Remark
- The winged face takes all the space in the tympanum. The shape of the face indicates a later period design as it is moving from the circle or oval shape. The chin and cheeks support this contention. The hair is in the extended lozenge shape with curls and a part inside. The head is supported by a neck. The wings have short scale like feathers interior and longer flowing feathers towards the ends.
- Physical Status
- straight less_than_20_degrees
