Description

Front side. The carved surface is relatively unrefined, and its level of craftsmanship falls short compared to other tombstones in the area. At the center is the figure of the deceased, shown with large hoop earrings. One hand seems to hold a pair of shears, while the other rests on the chest. To the right of the figure are two cross motifs, and in the lower left are two animals (most likely oxen) facing each other head to head. In the upper zone are depictions of unclear objects.

Back side. Under three columned arches are simple cross motifs.

Lateral sides. One lateral plane bears a simple linear cross, while the other depicts an equal-armed cross.

Upper side. Concave, outlined at the center with a single line.
