The Parthenon Frieze. Block E I
Image
A single marshal (1) is depicted, his body rendered frontally. His weight is carried on his left leg, with the right leg free and turned to the side. He turns his head, now missing, and looks leftward toward the south side where the animals are coming along with their herdsmen. Perhaps his raised right arm conveys a signal. He wears a himation which covers the lower part of his body and is wrapped over his left forearm, from which it hangs. His feet are shod in sandals. The figure corresponds to the other corner figures of the frieze but surpasses them in artistic quality.
