Border: was a two line, medium thick border around the stone's circumference. Illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet are still attached and visible. The tablet is border by a single line and is presented as slightly sunken in bas-relief.

Remark: This stone has fallen over and sunk into the earth. The stone itself had already survived significant damage both before and post installation into its granite frame. The tympanum has been 90% destroyed, but we can see the dual hemisphere skull, triangular nasal cavity and oval eyes. The background appears to be the multisegmented tile banners. The tablet section is surround on three sides by illustrated panels. It is still evident that circular designs were set in the two upper corners. The designs along each strip are mainly of the nautilus type but appear more floral than aquatic.
