- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation, face (female), willow tree
- Border
- The tympanum employs two borders. One runs from one of the stone's shoulders to the other. Then it transforms into a thicker border that runs down the side of the stone. The other two line border covers the internal border of the tympanum's dome.
- Remark
- The tympanum contains two design elements. The central figure is a early period rendition of a head, neck and shoulders with minimal details. The eyes are basic round balls, the nose is bulbous and the mouth is non-commital emotionally. On either side of the face and up and down the side panels on either side of the table are renditions of pineapples.
