Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
Aver the tympanum, there is a two line, thick width border. After the stone's shoulders, this band thins out by half, proceeds over the shoulder and down the side. While the deterioration of the stone has rendered certain images indecipherable, the illustrations on the side are barely identifiable. At the top of the side panel is a 4x4 x-y grid of lines. Below this are illustration of plants.
Remark
On the tympanum, below the outermost border, a band of illustrations with nautilus shapes and leaves separates the outer border and the interior of the tympanum. The main illustrations inside the tympanum are the face on top of a generic body and neck with plants to the left and right of this figure. The wig-wearing face is primitive with a simple round shape, minimal details, and a non-descrip body.
