Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
A two line border runs along the circumference of the lower tablet section. In side of this border are two other borders. First, on either side of the plaque, there are illustrated side panels. The mirror image design uses stacked diamonds ending in a plant that is curled inward. Around the plaque's circumference, another two lines form a thin width border.
Remark
An arch sits atop the tympanum with a flame at its top center. A serrated line runs along its bottom edge. The face is more male than female but otherwise displays all the era appropriate art (ie. detailed eyes, eyebrow to nose transition, cheeks, chin, etc.) The wings are tab-type with some detail to add a sense of motion.
