Surveyed On: September 17, 2015

Stone Type: slate

Border: There is a thin two line border that encircles the tympanum, encircles the two shoulder star designs and delimits the side panels on both sides. There is a three line two border around the tablet. The outer border is a similar width to the tympanum border, but the other is engraved into a negative space highlighting the tablet.

Remark: The tympanum design is a primitive design that is fairly common. The face in the center is eclipsed at one end and resembles a balloon. The eyes, nose and mouth are basic shapes (i.e. ovals, line). There are four six arm stars - two in the shoulders and two at the outboard corner of the tympanum. All have a circular border around them. All have a smaller six armed star at their centers. There are two rope-like lines forming dividers within the tympanum. The outermost one begins and ends on the lower center of the tympanum as two coils. From each coil, it runs over the outer corner star border, and then alone the tympanum's top border. The inner line has its coils above the lower ones. Their line only runs between them along the top of the tympanum below the two other borders. The side panels are illustrated with a wave cascading imagery. These themes are all carried over into the foot stone too.

Physical Status: straight less_than_20_degrees
