Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
The border over the tympanum begins and terminates at the shoulders of this stone. There is another border from the shoulder down the sides that is much thinner. Between the inside edge of the side border and the tablet, are illustrated side panels.
Remark
The skull in the tympanum is very lightbulb-shaped with a very thin bottom. The eyes are round, the nose triangular and the teeth at the bottom of the bulb but above the neck. The background appears to be a composite of wings and banner type. Some of the illustration follows the design of wings with a single quill and multiple segments. Still, the top strand is more like a border.
