The outer edge of this stone was damaged both prior to and during the installation within the granite frame. Around the top of the tympanum, we can still see a trace of the thin, two line border that was present. There are illustrated panels on three sides of the tablet section; top and two sides.
Remark
The skull at the center of the tympanum is an early representation with a round shape, oval eyes, triangular nasal cavity and heart-shaped mouth. The background is a multisegment display with rows of tiles. The illustrated panels at the top and sides of the tablet contain nautilus-like images cascading along their length and a circle with whirlpool-like images.
