Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
The stone's circumference is protected by a two line, thin width border. The tablet section uses a gabled shape on top as a defined border against the tympanum.
Remark
In the tympanum, the upper arch has had all detail remove, but its shape is still present. The face is a middle period rendition with cheeks and chin and a realistic nose. The wings are tab-like in design. There are mirror image plant designs in the corner of the tympanum. The tablet resembles an idea of a classic design where it would be mounted in a wall. The stone's shoulders have circles in them, but no other designs.
