Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A two line, thin width border follows the circumference of this stone. It is thicker over the tympanum and thinner down the sides. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet. Around the tablet is a three line, two thin width borders.
Remark
The tympanum presents a later period winged face. The details are very realistic but the wings are more abstract. The eyes, nose, hair, mouth and shape of the face are much more real but the wings take on a fanciful elongated floral appearance. There are abstract images in the two lower corners that appear equally floral and aquatic.
