This stone has a two line, medium thin width border around it's circumference. The tablet section is bordered by a single line. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet section.

Remark

The tympanum's image is of a winged bewigged judge. This is a middle period image with a bulbous nose, oval head shape and expression-less. His wings have three types of feathers pictured. The rounded shorter ruffle-like feathers are close to the lead edge of the wings and his neck. The longer feathers are single quill multi-segment type. At the very bottom, there are very little feather dusters.
