The Parthenon Frieze. Block S VIII

Despite severe damage, it is clear that the horsemen (21 and 22) are each wearing a chlamys over a short chiton and that they are shod in felt boots. The body of figure (23) on the right end of the block has been almost obliterated. His hands, holding the reins, are on the next block IX.
