Description
Stone tombstone with four roundels decorated with diamond and cross motifs framed by a sharply incised rectangular border. A Greek inscription has been carved around the third roundel. The spacing between each roundel is not consistent. Whether space has been provided for an inscription to be added or if this is a decorative choice is unclear. The hand of the carver does not appear to be a well or formally trained one.
