viii. Michaelis is in error in marking a joint on the left of his

No. 26 (= Museum, No. 17).

Height, 1 foot 7-1/2 inches.

[Sidenote: 7.]

Fragment with left foot wearing a shoe, from a draped figure moving to the left. The skirt falls just above the ankle. This may be a part of the figure on slab i., only preserved in Carrey's drawing (cf. Plate vii.); or it may have belonged to one of the figures on slabs vii.--ix., notwithstanding that Carrey represents them with bare feet.

Height, 7 inches.

[Sidenote: 8.]

Fragment from the left of slab ix., giving parts of the three figures shown in Carrey's drawing (see Plate viii.). This fragment agrees fairly well with Carrey, except that he does not indicate the hand of the middle figure. It was discovered in the excavations on the Acropolis in 1889.

Height, 2 feet.

[Sidenote: 9.]

Fragment from the right joint of a slab, containing part of a male figure from the hip to the right shoulder. The right arm was held horizontally, and bent at the elbow, so that the hand is seen before the breast. A mantle passes round the body from under the right arm to the left shoulder. This, as Robert points out (_Arch. Zeit._, 1875, p. 100, _l_), seems to be the marshal beside the chariot group in Michaelis, pl. 12, xiii., fig. 48. (See Plate viii., slab xiii.) In that case the raised mass on the left of the hip of this figure would be part of the rump of the third horse.

Height, 1 foot 5 inches.

[Sidenote: 10.]

Fragment with edge of hind quarter of horse, rearing to the left, with part of the tail. Above the tail are folds of drapery. This fragment is perhaps a part of slab xiii., with the hinder chariot horse; but this is very doubtful.

Height, 1 foot 8 inches; Michaelis, pl. 12, slab xiii., fig. 48.

[Sidenote: 11.]

Part of a charioteer, between the waist and the knees; he stands in a chariot, of which the antyx is visible. The left forearm crosses the body as if holding the reins. This fragment, which is not noticed by Michaelis, must belong to the north frieze. Robert (_Arch. Zeit._, 1875, p. 100, _n_) proposed to assign it to slab No. xiii. of the north frieze. This seems the most probable position, though the fragment does not agree very well with Carrey's drawing.

Height, 1 foot.

[Sidenote: 12.]

Fragment of chariot group; an apobates standing in a quadriga, leaning forward. The head and neck, right arm from below elbow and legs from below the knee are wanting. On his left arm is his oval buckler. He wears a chiton which leaves the right arm and side bare. His right hand must have grasped the antyx. On the left a portion of the drapery of the charioteer is visible. There is a joint on the left of this fragment. It must belong to the northern frieze, and on p. 172, fig. 12, it has been drawn in combination with slab xix. It is not given by Michaelis, or in Robert's list (_Arch. Zeit._, 1875, pp. 95-103).

Height, 1 foot 5 inches.

[Sidenote: 13.]

Horse's head, reined back; a joint on the left side. The scale and direction show that this head belonged to a chariot group on the north side.

Height, 11-1/2 inches; Michaelis, pl. 12, slab xx. (cf. p. 173).

[Sidenote: 14.]

Fragment containing a part of the neck and lower part of the mane of one of the horses of a chariot group, together with a part of the neck of a second horse. This fragment, which was discovered in the excavations on the Acropolis of 1889, must belong to a chariot group of the north frieze, perhaps to slab xi., xv., or xvi.

Height, 1 foot 3 inches.

[Sidenote: 15.]

The upper part of two horsemen, and part of the head or neck of a succeeding horse. The second rider, whose hand is preserved, held metal reins. The horse had a metal bridle. This fragment was formerly in the Cataio Villa, and afterwards the property of Archduke Karl of Austria. It must have belonged to the fragmentary portion of the north frieze, between slabs xxvi. and xxviii.

Height, 1 foot 3 inches; Laborde, _Athènes_, II., p. 236; Michaelis, pl. 13, xxvii.

SOUTH FRIEZE.

[Sidenote: 16.]

Helmeted head looking to the right. The lower part of the face is broken away. The helmet has a cheekpiece turned up at the side. This head probably belongs to the horseman, No. 5, in the south frieze.

Height, 5-1/4 inches.

[Sidenote: 17.]

Foreleg of a horse from below the knee to the hoof. The direction is to the right.

Length, 7-1/2 inches.

[Sidenote: 18.]

Youthful beardless head wearing a petasos and looking to the right. The right side of the head is broken away. Michaelis engraved this head, pl. 11, slab xix., No. 48. It no doubt belongs either to that horseman, or to one of the two on the slab following (xx.), for which see Carrey's drawing.

Height, 7 inches.

[Sidenote: 19.]

Upper part of youthful male figure looking to the right; behind, horse's head. The figure wore a chiton with girdle, and, apparently, a close-fitting helmet or leather cap. Part of the shoulder of a second figure seems to be visible on the right edge of the fragment. It is not easy to find a place for this fragment among the horsemen of the south side. It seems more probable that the head is that of the charioteer of slab xxvi.; it agrees well with Carrey's drawing.

Height, 1 foot 4 inches; Michaelis, pl. 11, slab, xxvi.; No. 64.

[Sidenote: 20.]

Fragment of male figure, turned to the right, extending from the neck to the hip. The drapery consists only of a mantle which is seen passing over the right shoulder and round the body. The figure appears to be that of a youth and to correspond best with one of the charioteers of the south frieze, only preserved in Carrey's drawing, Michaelis, pl. 11, slab xxvii.

Height, 1 foot 1/4 inch; Michaelis, pl. 11, slab xxiv., A.

[Sidenote: 21.]

Fragment of elderly male figure, moving to the right; from the hips to the beginning of the shoulder blades. He wears a mantle closely wrapped about him, and leaving the right arm bare. On the right of this fragment is a joint. It probably belongs to a figure in the group of old men and musicians, slabs xxxiv.-xxxvii. Michaelis inserts it in slab xxxv. (No. 97 in his pl. 11), but his drawing is incorrect and the fragment cannot be adjusted there. The only possible place seems to be on the right of slab xxxiv.

Height, 10 inches.

[Sidenote: 22.]

Fragment with left foot and part of drapery of figure moving to the right, and having the left foot hindmost. From the left-hand lower corner of a slab. The lowness of the relief shows that this foot belongs to one of the figures on the far side of the victims. Michaelis combines it with his pl. 11., slab xliii., 126. This figure, which is 84 according to the Museum numbering, has now been joined to slab xli. Although the fragment does not seem to join satisfactorily to the angle of slab xli., yet this seems its probable position.

Height, 8 inches.

SOUTH OR NORTH FRIEZE.

[Sidenote: 23.]

Fragment of helmeted head looking to the right. The head is entirely destroyed except the back of the helmet and its crest. This head perhaps belongs to one of the warriors that accompany the chariots in the north frieze.

Height, 11-1/2 inches.

ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE PARTHENON.

[Sidenote: =350.=]

The capital and uppermost drum of one of the Doric columns of the north side.

Width of abacus, 6 feet 7-1/4 inches; Penrose, _Athenian Architecture_, pl. 19, fig. 1.

[Sidenote: =351.=]

Part of a marble tile-front. The roof of the Parthenon, like that of many other Greek temples, was formed of marble tiles, _solenes_, carefully adjusted. In the case of the Parthenon the tiles were placed side by side. Ridge tiles covered the joints, and the lower end of each ridge terminated in an anthemion. Hence the tile-front was called by the Greeks _kalypter anthemotos_. See the model of the Parthenon, and Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 8.--_Inwood Coll._

Height, 1 foot 1/2 inch.

[Sidenote: =352.=]

Cast of a similar but more perfect tile-front, from the original at Athens.

Height, 1 foot 8-1/2 inches; Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 8; Inwood, _Erechtheion_, pl. 22.

[Sidenote: =353.=]

Cast of lion's head from one of the angles of the pediment. This head, is worked from a block which forms the springing stone of both the cymatium and the corona of the pediment. In the modelling of the lion's head, and especially in the treatment of the mane, there is a noticeable austerity and conventionalism, such as is appropriate to a purely decorative piece of sculpture.

Height, 1 foot 4-1/2 inches. See the model of the Parthenon; Penrose, _Athenian Architecture_, pl. 17; Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 9; Brunn, _Denkmaeler_, No. 82 B.

[Sidenote: =354, 5.=]

Casts from two fragments of acroteria, probably from the western pediment.

The acroteria were ornaments placed above the centre of the pediments. For an example of a complete acroterion, see that from Eleusis, No. 438.

Lengths, 3 feet 3 inches and 1 foot 9 inches; Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 10, i, l.

[Sidenote: =356.=]

Marble fragment of a similar acroterion.--_Inwood Coll._

Height, 10 inches; Inwood, _Erechtheion_, pl. 22, p. 130.

[Sidenote: =357.=]

Marble fragment of moulding with painted mæander pattern.--_Inwood Coll._

Length, 10 inches; Inwood, _Erechtheion_, pl. 22, p. 129.

[Sidenote: =358.=]

Marble fragment of moulding with painted mæander pattern. Both these fragments (357, 358) appear to belong to the moulding which surmounted the frieze and passed round the interior of the peristyle.--_Elgin Coll._

Length, 1 foot 9 inches; Penrose, _Athenian Architecture_, pl. 20, fig. 27_a_; pl. 23; Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 17.
