Border

A simple two line, thin width border at the top of the tympanum morphs into a double ended flower. Yey bracket in the central image. The rest of the stone exhibits in the format of two stone columns supporting a gabled plaque. These columns are an intricate design with multiple segments delineated.

Remark

The tympanum has three design elements. At the top is the arch over all. The winged face includes period appropriate features (cheeks, chin, eyebrows to nose transition, pulled back hair, emotionless mouth). The wings are tab-type without further detailing.
