- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face (alone)
- Border
- This stone has a four line, three line border around its circumference. The widths of the three borders are identical but their journeys are slightly different. The outermost border traverses the dome of the tympanum, encircles the six sided stars at this stone's shoulders and then proceeds down the side. The second border is etched and indented and follows along over the dome, around the star and down the sides. The third and final borders follows the other two but also forms a border around the tablet section. Around three sides of the tablet, inside of those borders are illustrated panels. They are not mirror imaged and the shapes can be seen as either wind or water.
- Remark
- The tympanum has a solitary image from the early periods. The details are simplistic (oval face shape, generic neck and body, lozenge-like hair, eyebrow/bulbous nose).
- Physical Status
