- Stone Type
- slate
- Border
- The stone's circumference has a two line, thin width border. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet section. The tympanum is carved out of the stone in an ellipse
- Remark
- The tympanum has a winged head filling its limited space. The rendition of the face appears mid to late period work. It is a very realistic portrayal with the all details in proportion. The wings are a cross between the tab version and the more common single quill multisegment version. The side panels show a plant growing up from the ground level.
