- 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.
