Border: This stone has a thin two line border around its circumference. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet section. Each panel is topped by a six-sided star in a circle. Down the length of each panel are cascading abstract designs of rounded undulating shapes. At three similar points within each column are shapes that look like a multilevel DQ ice cream.

Remark: A banner lies along the dome of this tympanum. It is emblazoned with Memento Mori. Inside the tympanum has a beautifully etched early middle period rendition. The more realistic head shape supports this contention, while the lozenge shaped hair keeps the impression this is an earlier design. The wings are also very lovingly detailed with two types of feathers. The ones on the wing's lead edge and closest to the body are smaller and appear almost scale like. The trailing edge of the wings feathers are longer and more flowing.
