The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XXXVII

Three horsemen (100-102) form another group. They hold the reins of their galloping horses tightly in both hands. The first (100) wears a short chiton, chlamys and sandals, the second (101) a double-belted sleeved chiton and sandals, whereas the body of the third (102) at the join of the two blocks is badly damaged. Preserved is the wind-blown tip of the rider’s chlamys above the rear of his horse on the adjoining block XXXVIII.
