Border: The tympanum has a two line, wide width border protecting its dome. The tablet section has a thinner two line border over the shoulders which reaches its thickest width across the base. Three sides of the tablet section are additionally bordered by illustrated panels in a continuous image. The images are anchored at three points with circles; at the top of the columns and in the center of the bottom panel. The accent images are more floral than aquatic but still rely on a nautilus-like whirl.

Remark: The tympanum design is from early middle period. The bi-hemispherical skull with the triangular nasal cavity . disproportionate teeth display and the oval eyes support hat contention. The wings till up the entire side space with a single quill, multi-segment feathers as they expand from the skull.
