The Parthenon Frieze. Block S VII
Image
Of the three horsemen shown next, preserved in part are (17) and (18). They wear short chiton double-belted and probably felt boots (embades). Of horseman (19) only the lower part of the body is preserved, covered by his chiton. Rider (20) whose body is shown on this block, with the forepart of his horse on the next, belonged to the fourth group of horsemen of the south frieze. The garments of this group, chiton, chlamys and felt boots, are known to us from the best preserved horsemen of blocks VIII and particularly IX.
