Both these warriors are nude. Of the figure on the
right nothing remains hut his body from the neck to
the hips and his left arm with the shield; his right arm is
broken off with the shoulder. Of the other warrior, the
right leg and thigh from the hip downwards and the right
arm from the shoulder are wanting ; his left elbow is
drawn behind his back, which is turned partly towards
the spectator. As the left hand is wanting, it is un-
certain whether he was armed with a shield; he has
advanced his right foot as if hurrying forward.
(B. 8.) A battle scene, in which the combatants, four in
number, hurl rocks at each other : a fifth, overcome in the
fray, lies prostrate on the ground. On the left is a pair
of antagonists, of whom the one on the right has his body
drawn back, the weight being thrown on his right leg :
with his left hand he presses a rock against the left side
of his adversary, while his right arm is drawn back and
bent as if to hurl a spear; his left arm, which has been
extended horizontally, is wanting all but the hand, as are
also the back of the head and both legs : this figure is
naked, and has his back to the spectator; his antagonist
advances from the left with his left foot firmly planted on
the ground ; with his left hand he thrusts a mass of rock
at his adversary's head. The rapidity of his movement is
indicated by the oblique direction of the folds of his mantle,
which falls from his left arm, crossing his back and re-
appearing from behind his thighs; his head, right arm,
and right leg and thigh are wanting. To the right of this
group are two combatants fighting over the body of a
third who has fallen at their feet. The action of the figure
on the left is not easy to determine, because his head, both
arms, and right thigh are wanting, and of his left thigh
only a small part is visible below the hip ; he moves for-
ward with the left leg advanced and the body inclined
towards the right, his left hand grasping a rock which is
right nothing remains hut his body from the neck to
the hips and his left arm with the shield; his right arm is
broken off with the shoulder. Of the other warrior, the
right leg and thigh from the hip downwards and the right
arm from the shoulder are wanting ; his left elbow is
drawn behind his back, which is turned partly towards
the spectator. As the left hand is wanting, it is un-
certain whether he was armed with a shield; he has
