Border

A wide width two line border covers the dome of the tympanum. A thinner two line border runs along the outside edge of the left and right side illustrated panels within the tablet section. The side panels are decorated with the cascading figures but in this case they are more floral than aquatic.

Remark

The skull it an early iteration with a lightbulb shape, round eyes, triangular nasal cavity, and two neat rows of teeth. The wings are stylized and complement the roundness of the skull. They are single quill, multi-segment feathers.
