- The beveled edging on the stone is complemented by the two line, thin width border that outlines the circumference of this stone. The tablet section is further bordered on three sides by illustrated panels. The images follow a traditional format with a flower at the peak of each side panel and the joining point of each side's design is the middle of the bottom panel. This stone's design are cascading abstract shapes along with the nautilus-like swirls. On this stone, the design appear more floral.
- Remark
- This tympanum's "judge" design is different in the number of respects. The most interesting is the happy demeanor. The detailed wig is evident but it very curly as opposed to the more common straight comb. The facial details are minimal. The wings have a single quill feathers with multiple segments.
