- slate

- Time has worn a lot of this stone's details. Only the barest outlines are visible on the two side illustrated panels. A flower design at the top complements the abstract leaves and stems trailing down the panel.
- Remark
- The tympanum is particularly interesting due to the simplified imagery and the frown formed by the mouth. There is an arch border that continues around the stone's circumference. The wings on either side of the face consist of only the barest of lines. The round face has slight sad lines for eyes and the downturned mouth.
