Border
Enough of this stone remains for us to see that there was a two line, thin width border around its circumference. To the left and right of the tablet section, and interior of the outer border, are the remains of two illustrated panels.
Remark
The tympanum's illustrations consist of two major components. Inside of the outer border, and running along the length of the dome are a band of star designs to represents the heavens. There is a thin two line border on either side of the heaven illustration. Below that is the early rendition of a face with round eyes and skull shape, a triangular nasal cavity, and the wild crown of hair. The broken side panels included a circle with a Canterbury-like cross design with undulating cascading designs dropping down from it.
