The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XLIV

A bull is depicted with his head thrown back, evidently bellowing. Two himation clad young herdsmen (133 and 134), are one on each side of the animal. The first turns his head to look back toward the left, while the marshal (135), turning in the same direction, gives an order of some sort with outstretched hand.
