- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- There is a four line, three thin width border on the tympanum. The first border follows the circumference of this stone. the second and third begin and terminate in "spools" within the tympanum. The second border line follows the dome of the tympanum, rolls over the six armed stars at the far corners and spools. The innermost border's spools are on the immediate left and right of the face. There are illustrated side panels on three sides of the plaque in the tablet section.
- Remark
- The tympanum exhibits a primitive rendition of a face utilizing only basic shapes for the eyes, nose and mouth. The six armed stars at found both at the extreme corners of the tympanum and on the stone's shoulders. The illustrated panels below the shoulders utilize the spool design but it is more of an aquatic wave type design. The designs are artfully joined in an alternating pattern.
