Here Lies y_e body of John Ch ch M neo anchu

Border: A two line medium width border runs over the tympanum, reduces its width by half as it traverses this stone's shoulders and then proceeds down the sides. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet. The details have been reduced to unreadable over time.

Remark: The tympanum includes another layer of border along the dome in a reduced width. The central image is a skull. It is much longer than most images. The eyebrows are heavy lidded over circular saucer like eyes. The nose is keyhole-shaped and sits atop a long thinner area that gives this skull its unusual shape. The mouth is at the bottom of this space, but the usual teeth are gone and replaced by a cartoon mouth with a slight leer. Around the top of the skull are several hair curls (roses?) which are difficult to define due to the deterioration.
