slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
The border over the tympanum is two lines with a thick width. There are two borders of an equal thin width around the tablet section of this stone. The outer border begins and terminates at the tympanum border. The inner border is found on the left and right of the tablet.
Remark
The central image in the tympanum is a face with wings. The face, while more humanistic, has a proportionally larger forehead, blank eyes and hair curled at the end. The wings consist of two sections; a smaller feather around the juncture of the head's neck and the lead edge of the feathers and the longer flowing feathers. Some of the border was damaged either prior or when placing the stone in the granite frame.
