Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A two line border covers the tympanum. It is thicker at its two bases and thinner as it transverses the tympanum. At the shoulders, it thins and hops over the stone's shoulders and leads down the sides. The area inside of that border and the tablet form the two illustrated side panels. The artwork is cascading water imagery.
Remark
The tympanum is bas relief. The background is a multi-point star filled sky. The winged figure in the foreground is indistinct but has its wings raised. The face and wings are simply drawn without much detail which give it a cartoon quality.
Physical Status
askew cracked
Intelligibility
readable
