5. Fragment of lower part of horse's neck with part of
the mane.

6. Fragment from middle of horse's head.

7. Small fragment from top of horse's head, part of
right ear turned back (Michaelis, pi. 8, J.K. c; Laborde,
pi. 26, fig. 24).

8. Fragment, perhaps from horse's shoulder—right side.

9. Fragment of base of neck and part of chest with
band across.

10. A left hindleg from the stifle joint to the pastern,
bent, so as to indicate a rearing action. From below the
hough to the hoof the leg is carved out of the same block
as the bed of the pediment, which is sunk to make room
for the hoof, the greater part of which was sculptured on
another block of the bed which is now wanting, and which
was fitted on to it at a joint roughly tooled. The outside
of the haunch and hough have been cut away, evidently to
gain room for the right hindleg of the same horse- If
this leg belonged to a horse in the left wing of the
pediment, it might have been expected that the inside
rather than the outside of the left leg would have been
cut away, as it would not have been visible from below.
This limb is composed of three separate fragments.

beck, Berichte d. sachs. Gesell. d. Wissen. Nov. 1879,

11. Hough from right hindleg, bent, broken off close to
joint below and a little higher above (Michaelis, pi. 8, J.K.
Ji; Laborde, pi. 26, fig. 33).

12. Hough from right (?) hindleg, broken off close to
joint and bent (Michaelis, pi. 8, J.K. u; Laborde, pi. 26,
fig. 23).

13. Hough from left (?) hindleg, bent, piece broken off
at heel, back of the joint left rough with a projection below
the heads of the lower bones, probably for a support.
