Parthenon Frieze Repository: The Parthenon Frieze. Block N I

The Parthenon Frieze. Block N I

The entire block is lost, but the scene is known from Carrey’s drawing. At the left a marshal (1) in 3/4 view, clad in himation, receives the procession of the north frieze. The driver of the first animal arriving at the finish turns his head back, evidently to see the position of the rest of the procession. Two fragments of this block have been identified: one preserves the hoof of a bull, the other is from the lower left part of figure (2).
