Border: A thin, two line, thin width border skirts the outer edge of this stone. It is noticeably thicker along the bottom edge. Three illustrated panels surround the tablet section on the sides and bottom. Their design is centered at 3 points. At top of the two side columns and the center of the bottom panel are circles. The two on the side are 3 levels and the smaller one in the center of the bottom is 2 levels. The illustrations are of a cascading design that here resembles a more floral element.

Remark: The tympanum skull is proportioned so that it's height takes up the entire space from the top to the bottom. Lightbulb shape, oval eye sockets, triangular nasal cavity, teeth taking up the entire lower skull point to a middle period representation. The wings are single quill multi-segment type.
