The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XIX
Image
On the right end of the block is preserved in damaged condition the leader of the eighth group (49), part of his chiton over his knee. After a space comes horseman number (50) who belongs to the ninth group and whose representation continues on the next block. He wears short chiton, chlamys, felt boots and petasos, as can be seen in Carrey’s drawings and the fragments preserved from the hat of rider (51) of this group.
