- A wide two line border covers the dome of the tympanum. After that duty is fulfilled, it decreases in width to half and forms a border between the bottom of the tympanum and the tablet. While it is difficult to tell due to the deterioration, there were decorations at the shoulders. At this point, it appears the border formed by having two equal width lines around the tablet.
