- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- The thick, two line border over the tympanum decreases to half its width at the stone's shoulders. It then proceeds down the sides. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet section. A Canterbury cross in a circle tops each panel. Cascading down the panels' length are abstract plant-like images.
- Remark
- This tympanum has a beautifully etched early period rendition. The round head shape supports this contention, while the smile is unusual for this period. The hair represents an evolutionary step from the lozenge shape. 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.
