- Despite time's effects on this stone's appearance, there appears to be a three line, thin width, double border around the tablet section and, one can safely assume, a single border line of similar width around the tympanum.
- Remark
- Whether the damage occurred prior to the stone's installation into the granite frame or during, this stone's erosion to time is significant including about a fifth of its face. The skull is an early rendition with a very round shape of both the skull and the eye sockets. The nasal cavity is triangular.
