- Stone Type
- slate
- Border
- A two-line border runs along the outer edge of this stone. Two illustrated panels are on either side of the tablet section. The corners/top of the illustrated panels have a circle with a six-pointed star interpreted as a flower with the panel having the stems. In this case, it is an offset biradial design. Unfortunately, the stone has sunk, so a lower panel's presence cannot be ascertained.
- Remark
- The tympanum contains two design elements. A lightbulb-shaped skull is in the center with five-layer wings on either side. The skull utilizes simple details with round eye sockets, a triangular nasal cavity, and block-like teeth.
