Stone Type

slate

Border

There is a thick two line border around the circumference of this stone. The tablet is framed by a gabled two section border. The outer border morphs on the left and right into plants that blossom at the stone's shoulders.

Remark

The face in the tympanum is harrowing. It is an early period depiction with a oval head, round eyes, crude triangular nose, eyebrows (that look like a prefrontal lobotomy) and a straight across mouth. There are plants to the face's left and right.
