In an effort to break the monotony of lines of galloping horses, this block virtually repeats the theme of block XV. Thus a chlamys-clad youth (12), turned to face the on-coming procession, stoops to fasten the sandal on his left foot, which he rests on a large stone. The only real difference is that this figure wears a helmet. Behind him to the left, his horse in a gallop, is a horseman (11) wearing a cuirass (thorax) tied with thongs through loops attached to lion- shaped fasteners on the the epaulet and chest. He too wears a helmet which, in addition to the central crest will have had a plume attached at the side, as is evidenced by an attachment hole.
