Parthenon Frieze Repository: The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XXII

The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XXII

The block is missing, having been removed to make a window when the temple was turned into a church. It was no longer there for Carrey to record it. Yet the preserved parts of the adjoining blocks help in a restoration. At the left on block XXII there will have been the forepart of horseman (55) of block XXI. The right end can be restored with the hindquarters of the horse of rider (56).
