- There are two design elements found in the tympanum. The overhead arch has a serrated design along the bottom. A fleur de lys like design is centered on the arch. The round face has detailing as befits this period with clearly defined eyes, cheeks, chin, mouth and a eyebrow to nose transition. His hair is parted in the middle and to the side. The wings are tab-like with a rounded tip and lines to designate multiple feathers. The lead edge of the wings is also clearly defined. The illustrated side panels include plants that grow up the side of the stone and along the bottom of the tablet section. They are mirror-imaged.
