Border

This stone has a two line, thin width, beveled outer edge border around its circumference. The tablet section is presented as a gabled plaque set into the stone. There is deep cut made in the stone along the outer edge of plaque and then the stone slowing rises to its natural level adding to its bas-relief appearance.

Remark

The tympanum rests like a cap on top of this plaque. There are four design elements. The Arch at the top is simple and without fine detail. The face is blank and without any emotion or hint of gender. The wings are the tab type. From the stone's shoulders, mirror imaged plants from from the shoulders to the bottom of the tympanum.
