2. Two feet, both shod with leather, which have
evidently belonged to a figure striding to the right; the
left foot advanced received the weight of the body; the
heel of the right foot is drawn up. These feet are at-
tached to a fragment of the original plinth, which is
higher under the left foot, and has there a bevelled edge ;
behind the left heel a stump rises from the plinth, set
obliquely to its base. This stump resembles the trunk
of a tree, and has therefore been supposed to be the stump
of the olive tree of Athene; all the right side of the
right foot has been broken away. The feet appear to be
those of a female figure of colossal size. In that case this
figure probably wore a short chiton, as otherwise some trace
of the skirt would appear on the feet or plinth. The
left shoe covers the entire foot, with a division between
the great toe and the other toes. This fragment has
been assigned to the Athene of the western pediment,
and also to the male figure (H) who attends at the side
of her chariot. There is no sure evidence as to where
this fragment was found, nor whether it belonged to either
pediment. It is of Pentelic marble, and was removed from
the Akropolis with the rest of the Elgin collection.
(Museum Marbles, vi. pi. 8; Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 4.)
3. Part of colossal right arm of female figure, bent; it
comprises the upper arm from the shoulder and the fore-
arm half-way to the wrist; the biceps broken away ; the
upper part of this arm is given by Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 40.
Synopsis, 342 (268).
4. Left arm of female figure, bent, from near the
shoulder to a little below the elbow; drapery thrown over
the arm at the elbow joint falls partly on the upper and
partly on the fore-arm. In the drapery of the upper
arm is a hole for the attachment of an object in metal.
