The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XLIV
Image
Four riders hold each the reins of their horses in both hands. The heads of the two middle figures (122 and 123) are preserved, whereas those of the figures (121 and 124) at the right and left ends of the block are missing since they coincided with the joins. Figure (122) has a fox-skin cap on his head, wears a double-belted short chiton and boots, whereas figure (123) is clad in a sleeved chiton and felt boots and he has a hair-band.
