- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face with ornamentation
- Border
- The beveled edge cut on this stone is complemented by a two line, thin width border which surrounds its circumference. A three sided tableau surrounds the tablet. The cascading imagery includes abstract aquatic-like designs, nautilus-like swirls and three points (the stone's shoulders and the center of the bottom panel) which are marked with flowers.
- Remark
- The tympanum includes an "judge" figure with a beautifully coiffed wig. His expression is a positive happy one with a smile on his face. This face shape and the minimal facial features indicate an early to mid etching. The wings are single quill, multi-segmented types.
