- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- There are two borders visible on this stone. Over the tympanum there is a single two line thick border that begins and terminates at the tablet section. To the left and right of the tablet, on sections we can still see, there are the remnants of a two line, thin width border.
- Remark
- Significant damage was done to the tympanum during the installation process. A quarter of this part of the stone was lost both prior and during the installation within the granite frame. What remains that we can see is a winged face. The wings are simplified with some details. The longer feathers are on the sides and the shorter feathers are around the bottom of the face. The longer feathers show a single quill but no segmentation.
