Border
The tympanum is externally bordered with a two line, medium width border which continues around the circumference of this stone. The inside edge is more deeply etched as it forms a more defined line over the upper edge of the tympanum space. It then thins by half, hops over the stone's shoulders and continues down the sides. The tympanum space adds another thin width border consisting of a line marking the border of the whole space. There are two sections; one over the top dome and the second as a base. The tablet's top border if formed by the base to the tympanum. The sides get three lines with the outermost being the innermost of the over stone border. The other two lines are differentiated but the middle border being more deeply etched.
Remark
