I agree that the stome pattern need some scaling down.
For the corners, you could try the various rounded edge macros. Another 
possibility would involve the use of some isosurface with some low 
amplitude, relatively high frequency, noise. Also using some normals 
perturbation would help.

I think that the text shows to much difference between the thick and 
narrow parts. Chose a somewhat "heavy" font.

Looking at the text, the part "ultimate parasite" make me think that 
whoever is buried there was not liked... It may explain why there is no 
name: Peoples don't want to remember him.

If the general lighting comes from the moon, it should be much more 
uniform, with any darker areas coming from obvious shadowing.

"Anno domini" in long is appropriate for something a few/several 
centuries old, not of the current year... Remove a single "M" from the date.
