- Stone Type
- sandstone
- Tympanum
- skull
- Border
- This stone incorporates a two line medium width border. It begins over the tympanum and then crossing over the stone's shoulders, it reduces in width and proceeds down the outside of each side panel. The side panels are illustrated with a three level concentric circle with cascading imagery resembling waves down the sides. The bottom of the tablet section resembles a rope.
- Remark
- This tympanum is done in bas relief with the negative space surrounding the winged skull. The skull is lightbulb shaped making it an early rendition which is further corroborated by the round eyes and simply drawn teeth. The wings are single quill, multi-segmented.
