Border
This stone has one main outer border line that is beveled at the outside edge, and made of two line set at a medium width. It covers the circumference of this stone. There are illustrated panels on the left and right of the tablet.
Remark
The tympanum has multiple borders. After the outermost border, there is thicker border line decorated with circles. Next a thin two line border separates it from next border line. This border is thicker and appears to repeat the design of the circles. Overlaying these borders, in the center is a face. This head is round with round eye sockets. The hair is wavy. The side panel illustrations begin with circles on the stone's shoulders and at the top of the side columns.
