backbone is also left bare. This may belong either to one
of the conductors of victims in the South frieze, or to a
marshal in the North frieze (Michaelis, pi. 11, xxiv.,
Fig. A).
25. Fragment from front of body of male figure wearing
a chiton, girt at the waist with a round narrow girdle. The
drapery extends from above the waist to below the navel.
Both sides are broken away. The figure must have turned
round to the front, and may have been either a charioteer
or a horseman.
26. East Frieze.—Fragment on which is drapery
falling in vertical folds from below the knee to the right
foot; on the foot is a shoe with a thick sole like those of
the female figures in slab iii. of the East side. The
direction is to the right. There is a joint on the left
side of the fragment. The dress of the figure to which
this fragment belongs, is evidently a talaric chiton such as
is worn by the maidens in the Eastern frieze ii-iii.
Perhaps this fragment belongs to the hindermost of these
maidens, as drawn by Carrey, in Michaelis, pi. 14, ii., 2.
27. Female head looking to the left. The hair is
gathered up behind under a net. Of the face only the
left cheek, left eye and forehead are preserved. This
must have belonged to one of the figures in the pro-
cession, Michaelis, pi. 14, vii., viii. or ix.
ARCHITECTURE.
1. The capital and uppermost drum of one of the
Doric columns of the north side.
2. Part of a marble tile-front, ornamented with the
anthemion, and hence called by the Greeks kalypter anthe-
motos. The roof of the Parthenon, like that of many other
Greek temples, was formed of marble tiles, solenes, carefully
adjusted one to another (see Michaelis, pi. 2, Fig. 8).
