Border: A two line, thin width border runs around the circumference of this stone and the tablet. The tablet also possesses another two line, thin width border around the tablet. Illustrated panels surround the tablet on three sides. They are illustrated with flowing, cascading imagery with small nautilus-like swirls. There are three key points found on the stone's shoulders and in the middle of the bottom panel. The two on the shoulders look like a whirring fan blades while the one on the bottom panel is a two level circle with a dot in the middle.

Remark: The tympanum has three key design elements. The arch overhead as assume an appearance more like a fringed umbrella canopy. The skull is wide through the cranium and thinner, and more rudimentary, at the mouth/teeth. The facial features are basic with a triangular nasal cavity. The wings are detailed with a single quill and multiple segments. They are folded to fill in the tympanum's space.
