A single thin two line border runs over the tympanum, hops over the stone's shoulders and then proceeds down the sides. There are two side panels outside of the tablet section.
Remark
The tympanum contains two lines, two circles with a six-legged starfish inside and a balloon-shaped face in the center. The circles with the starfish are located at the outer edge of the tympanum. They are duplicated at the stone's shoulders. The first line inside the border runs from just inside these circles from a spool over the outer edge of the spool and then against the outside border line. The second line runs from a spool just to the left of the face over the top of the tympanum to a spool on the right. The face is balloon-shaped with two conical divots for eyes a straight thin line for the nose and a box with thin space as the mouth.
