Stone Type

slate

Tympanum

face with ornamentation

Border

There is no border over the tympanum. The tablet section has a two line thin width around the visible circumference of the tablet with the exception of underneath the tympanum.

Remark

The winged face in the tympanum follows the design parameters for the large forehead school of facial representation. Eyes are like searchlights staring right back at you which is akin to the eye following you around the room found in painting and photography. A very real lower face (nose, mouth, chin, cheeks) is found here too. His hair is pictured as wavy. The wings display the two types of feathers and have a high arc.
