Second survey 08132017
- Surveyed On
- October 7, 2015
- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- This stone has a two line medium width border that flows from the tympanum over the shoulders and down the sides. There is an additional side border in place of the typical side panels. It curves over the stone's shoulders and continues down the stone. As we are unable to see the bottom of the stone below ground, we are not able to discuss their termination.
- Remark
- The tympanum has lost the apex of the dome due to time. But, to the side of the breaks, we can see the lozenge-like hair representation. The aging the stone has undergone has increased the otherworldly appearance of this carving.
