The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XVI
Image
The entire top of the block is missing and with it the greater part of the heads of the two horses and the upper parts of the bodies of horsemen (42 and 43) of the seventh group. At the right of the block is a negligible gap, which has been variously interpreted as marking a separation between two groups of horsemen or as signifying two different workshops. Others have suggested that a block is missing here, an interpretation that does not stand as there is not enough room.
