Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

willow tree

Border

There is a two line, thin width border around the tympanum and down the sides of this stone. From the tympanum, it rolls over the stone's shoulders and then down the sides. It does split into another line just before the shoulders. This second line proceeds down the stone into a sine wave shape that runs along the top of the gravestone shaped plaque in the tablet section. It also splits into another line which forms a serrated line back up the plaque forming a ridge at the apex of the design.

Remark

The willow has 2 branches. The stone shoulders have four armed stars that resemble compasses.
