- Despite its physical loss, clear evidence exists of a two line wide border over the tympanum. The tablet's borders are two lines arranged in different orientations (portrait/landscape) around the tablet.
- Remark
- 70% of the top of this stone has delaminated and is missing leaving about 10% of the tympanum. The small remaining piece leads one to imagine a winged head (or skull). The wing tips indicate a mid to later period design.
