limestone
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A thin two line border is around the circumference of this stone. There are illustrated side panels on either side of the tablet section and along the bottom. The side illustrations are of plant-like imagery. The bottom illustration are mirror-imaged curved lines.
Remark
This stone has a tympanum that extends into the tablet area. It has a thick banner along the top of the tympanum which is unfortunately unreadable due to erosion. The area for imagery is oval shaped and includes a round face with detailed eyes and nose features but the rest of the details are too eroded for identification. A wig is atop the head but it is not lozenge shaped but covers more of the head. There are two six armed stars at 7 and 5 o'clock below the tympanum.
