Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A thin width, two line border runs the circumference of this stone. There is a similar border on the left and right of the tablet.
Remark
The face in the tympanum includes common elements; the lozenge shaped hair on top of the round face, and the general representations of the eyes, nose and mouth are typical for the period. The head rests on a neck (despite the presence of wings) and the neck is on top of the tablet. The wings are smaller (and scale-like) closer to the neck and longer more feather like at the ends.
