- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- The gabled tympanum presents a complex border made up of several components; the beveled outer edge, the thick width of the main body with the interior line paired with a thin etched line and the sharply incised interior line supporting the bas-relief image in the center.
This border encircles the tympanum and provides a boundary against the tablet section.
The tablet section incorporates a four line, three section border. the outer border is the continuation of the one from the tympanum. There is a thin width etched line added off the interior line of this border. Inside, a bas-relief space permits a three dimensional plaque in the tablet's center.
- Remark
- The design is a keepsake framed image of a woman. She is wearing a wind-blown scarf and appears trim and attractive with distinct eyes and a stylish hair style. This figure is in sharp contrast to the capped, serious, bunned early images.
On either side of the frame are plants supporting the frame.
