The Parthenon Frieze. Block W VII
Image
Two horsemen mounted, their horses side by side with the left-hand horse (13) on a lower relief-level and slightly ahead, half concealed by the figure to the right (14). Over the short chiton worn by each, the first rider wears a chlamys, the second is wrapped in an animal skin that billows out behind him. They have the same restrained stance and they look in the same direction, toward the goal. Striking is the difference in the horses’ manes with irregular tufts on the left-hand horse and a well-combed mane on the horse to the right.
