Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
There are three, thin width borders on this stone. The first one is the outermost and it runs the circumference of this stone. The second border originates and terminates within the tympanum. It runs between two spools located along the base of the tympanum. After going along the dome, it hops over the stars at the extreme sides of the tympanum. The third border originates and terminates with the two spools on either side of the face. The tablet section has a two line, medium width border around the plaque. The illustrated side panels run on either side of the tablet section. The continuous tableau utilizes nautilus-like whirls set in complementary juxtaposition to each other.
Remark
The face in the center is an early rendering with an oval, ellipse type shape with other basic shapes (i.e. circles and lines) forming the facial details. There are four, six armed stars in the upper portion of the stone. Two are found in the tympanum and two are positioned at the stone's shoulders.
