The stone is of marble or granite and fully covered in linen. It measures 12 1/2" wide x 9 " high x 1" thick and weighs an estimated 10 lbs. An red embroidered cross on the linen cover marks a cross beneath, which is carved into the center of the stone. The outline of a label on the stone can be seen under the linen cover, but the script or image on the label can't be read through the linen.
