MARBLE Block II: Parthenon WEST frieze

Here two horsemen are shown reining back their horses.

The leading horseman turns round to look back at his companion, while raising his left hand to his head. He wears a cloak that is pulled close against his neck, while billowing out to the side. Holes in his hair probably once served for the insertion of a metal wreath.

The other horseman wears a chlamys. The horses are pierced with drill-holes where metal reins were inserted.
