Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

Originally there was a two line thin width border around the circumference of this stone. Over the years, time and the installation in the granite frame, the outer edges of the stone have been lost. The tablet portion of the stone was bordered by a single etched line.

Remark

The deterioration of this stone has significantly affected its intelligibility. We can still see a face in the tympanum. It consists of a round face, oval eyes, heart-shaped mouth and a design in the background. There are illustrated side panels with a circle containing a maelstrom as its design. The shapes descending from them appear more floral than aquatic.
