The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XXXII

Despite the bad state of preservation of the sculptured surface, another chariot, the eighth, can be discerned. It is moving rapidly, with charioteer (80) and hoplite (81) in the chariot-car and a marshal (82) standing at the invisible side of the horse. With body frontal and head turned toward his right, with his left hand he is trying to keep his himation from slipping off his left shoulder.
