Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

A beveled edge is incorporated into a two line rounded, thin width border that completely encircles this stone. Just inside of that border is another two line, medium width border that also splits off and provides a boundary to the top of the tablet section. The gabled tablet is presented in bas-relief with a double border along its circumference. the interior border is in the negative space.

Remark

The tympanum includes three major design elements. The arch is immediately under the second border. There are no markings. The winged face includes a solid rendition with pulled back hair, a strong eyebrow to nose transition, and emotionless eyes and mouth. The final design elements are the plants that grow from the stone's shoulders to under the winged face. These designs are not mirror imaged.
