Image
Here too is a group of three riders (103-105). The first (103) wears a chiton, double-belted and with short sleeves, and felt boots. The second (104) is hidden by the horse of the third rider (105), who turns his body so as to look back, in a pose repeated frequently at intervals in the procession. He wears sandals and a chlamys with ends wrapped over his forearms, leaving his torso exposed.
