Border: A thin two line border begins over the tympanum. As it passes the stone's shoulders, to triples in width and proceeds down the sides and across the bottom. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet. Each side's designs include four sets of nautilus shapes with lead outs aimed down and towards the outside.

Remark: The tympanum has three design elements. The banner across the top replaces the arch. Here it is emblazoned with Memento Mori. It fits right into stage curtain motif. The multipoint marks make appropriate use of the star/sky concept and the teaser's borders hang in loose gathers as the curtain is raised or lowered. The sky motif carried onto the lower background. The face is off a bald man. His demeanor is gentle with a slight smile. The details of facial features are missing
