Border
A two line, thin width covers the top of the tympanum and proceeds down the outside of the side illustrated panels. There is a rope-like line between the informative part of the tablet and the poem at the bottom.
Remark
The tympanum contains two main design elements. The arch is a triple level with grooves along the top of the bottom section. There is a flame from the very top section that enters the border's space. The face is very realistic rendered (cheeks, chin, nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows) and the hair is parted in the middle and combed to either side of the face. The wings are scallop-cut to signify the feathers.
