The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XIII
Image
The other three horsemen (35-37) of the sixth group are galloping their horses at a fast pace, apparent from the wind-blown manes. They wear the garments noted above: cuirass with shoulder straps and flaps, felt boots. The first (35) had a hair-band added in metal, as can be seen from the blind holes and channeling made for its attachment. The second (36) wears a fox-skin cap. On the right end of the block is the head and body of the third horseman (37) of the group, almost entirely broken off and continuing onto the next block XIV.
