Stone Type
slate
Border
A two line thin border wraps around the circumference of this stone. There are two illustrated side panels that contain cascading water imagery
Remark
The tympanum is filled with a "judge" figure with wings. His appearance is typically disapproving and it is here. His mouth even seems to be leering. His wig and wings are detailed but the oval face places this design in the earlier eras.
