There is a coat of arms in the middle of the upper border. There are small scalloped lights in the lower two corner and a thin width two line border which contains a sine wave-like line. The tablet section has illustrated side panels that are wrapped like a barbershop pole.

Remark: The tympanum has several design elements. As already mentioned the border is detailed and includes five designs; the coat of arms in the middle, the diamond detailed, two line, medium thick border line along the top, side panels made from half circles, scalloped corners. The foot stone is also captured. It is has a mirror imaged design split down the middle. The central images are of a large willow tree whose branches are split to the left and right over two urns.
