Stone Type
granite
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
There is a single thin two line border around the stone's circumference. The bas relief tympanum imagery is set off from the rest of the stone. The tablet section is outlined with a single line. On the sides are panels but their deterioration prevents a complete analysis.
Remark
Within the tympanum, just inside/below the outer border, there are etchings, but they have deteriorated to the point of non-recognition. It appears to represent the arch/heaven imagery. In the tympanum's center is a early era circle face with circle shaped detailed eyes, the hair emanating wildly from the skull. The hair seems to end in roses. Her mouth appears to be a straight line.
