- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- There is a simple two line, thin width border around the circumference of this stone. Inside of the outer border, the tablet also has a similar width border made up of alternating height blocks.
- Remark
- The tympanum includes two design elements. The background is made up of triangular marks made by a point chisel. The face and body are very generic and unisex. But the rendition is clear middle period with a recognizable human face, clearly defined features and hair pulled back. The smile appears non-committal so it's neither disapproving nor smiling.
