skull
Border
This double memorial is cleanly divided in half. The two sections are similar and utilize the same design language. There is a simple, two line, medium width border over both tympanums and down both outside edges. There are three illustrated panels; one on each outside tablet's edge and down the center between the two. The designs in the panels are of cascading, flowing image.
Remark
The skull is a simple early period iteration with a lightbulb shape, round eyes, triangular nasal cavity, and simple button-like teeth. The wings are single quill, multi-segment types that fill the blank space to the side of the skulls themselves.
