Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A thin, two line border covers the dome of the tympanum. It continues on over the stone's shoulders and then down the side until, at the stone's base, it becomes wide and the base to be closest to the ground. Illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet section are to the inside of the outer border.
Remark
The tympanum central image is on a blank background. The face is very oval which places it in the middle period of design. There are details like cheeks, chin, nose and eyelids with a simplistic approach. The wings are detailed with small dots etched into the stone.

straight cracked
Intelligibility
readable, broken images or writing
