A border runs around the full stone with various width changes. It is thickest over the tympanum and the half that width (approx.) around the outside of the side panels. The thinnest width is found between the tympanum and the tablet. A single engraved line surrounds the tablet and formalize the separation of the side panels from the tablet. Side panels illustrations are lilies growing up.

The winged face forms the centerpiece of the tympanum. His hair is parted just off center, his eyes look forlorn and sad. His eyebrows also form his nose line which is proportional. The mouth is set straight across.
