and leg, nearly to the ankle. The whole of the
left leg, and much of the body of the horse on the
same side, have been broken away by blows from a
sledge-hammer. The rider in this group wears
close-fitting trousers, called anaxyrides, a dress
characteristic of the Asiatics generally in ancient
art, and especially of Amazons, over which falls
a tunic with sleeves, girt at the waist and reaching
halfway down the thighs. The left hand holds the
reins. The horse is in a rearing attitude, as is
shown by the bend of the body, and by the action
of the shoulder and arm. Moreover, a hoof was
found, corresponding in scale with this horse, which
had never been attached to the base, and, probably,
belonged to an uplifted foreleg. In the present
mutilated state of this group, the action of the
rider cannot be made out with certainty; but, per-
haps, this figure was represented striking down-
wards with a spear at a prostrate foe j and it is
probable that the torso originally formed part of
a group commemorating the triumph of an Asiatic
warrior over one of his enemies. Whether one of
the princes of the race of Hekatomnus or a my-
thical personage is here represented, cannot be
determined. The upper jaw and nose of a horse
found near this torso may have belonged to it. In
that case, the mouth of the horse must have been
represented open, and his nostrils distended with
rage, as would be characteristic of a horse in a
battle-scene. (See the horse in the upper view from
the frieze, Plate X.)

Notwithstanding the great mutilation which this
