Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation, memento mori
Border
A thin, two line, beveled edge border runs along the circumference of this stone. The tablet section is presented as a bas-relief gabled plaque. Just inside of the outer border, a depressed border was created around the plaque.
Remark
This tympanum has three design elements. The arch on top has the serrated upper edge and Memento Mori etched. The winged face is a middle period rendition with pulled back hair, and simple facial details. The wings are the tab type which again are simplified. Finally, mirror imaged plants are growing from the stone's shoulders to almost intertwine below the tympanum.
