Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

The edge of this stone is bevel cut and a two line, thin width border runs along its circumference. There are illustrated bas-relief panels to the left and right of the tablet. The artwork is the cascading waves with nautilus-like images.

Remark

The tympanum imagery is the bewigged "old judge" stern-faced overlooking the departed. His mirror-imaged wig is again paired with a stern mouth, wide nose and beautifully detailed wings. The single quill is pronounced as are the individual strands of each feather.

Physical Status
