Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

A two line, thin width border runs the circumference of this stone. The bas-relief illustrated side panels and tympanum are border by their 3D representations.

Remark

The tympanum contains a winged face in the format of the old be-wigged judge. This rendition is an early design with an oval head shape, minimal facial details (eyes and nostrils) and a mirror-image wig. The wings are beautifully rendered with more care than the face. The single quill has a weight greater than many other examples
