The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XI

A marshal (44), over his shoulders his himation, which falls free in the vigourous action and exposes his well built torso, braces his legs apart in an effort to stop the course of the horses lest they overrun the group of elders who march ahead eastward with measured step, to the left. The anatomical modelling of the figure of the marshal shows similarities with the male torsos in the pediments.
