The stone is very well preserved and is carved with a frowning face, with a small lizard-like animal on each side biting the top of the head, and a third carved below, biting the chin. The tails of the creatures are intertwined and their clawed feet are shown grasping the head. Both sides of the stone, and its upper and lower surfaces are worked flat.
