Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
skull
Border
As we can note, from its appearance, this stone was damaged either prior to or during it's installation into the granite frame. It would be my opinion from the breaks that it was during. Regardless, we can see a two line, thin width border around the circumference of this stone. There are also illustrated panels to the left and right of the tablet section.
Remark
The small tympanum is filled with a winged skull image. Proportionally, the skull fills the height of the tympanum's space. The wings will the spaces to the side of the skull. This particular rendition of a skull is middle period due to the round eye sockets, lightbulb overall shape, triangular nasal cavity and teeth overwhelming the entire lower jaw. The wings are single quill, multi-segment types.
Physical Status
straight cracked
Intelligibility
readable, broken images or writing
