NORTH FRIEZE OF PARTHENON.

173

The next slab (xix.) is a cast from the original at XIX.
Athens, which is broken away on the right, so that all
that remains of the charioteer (No. 47) is his right hand.
At the side of the horses is a marshal (No. 46), who turns
towards the chariot following on the right. Carrey's
drawing supplies the upper part of this figure, and shows
that he was holding up with his left hand the end of his
mantle, apparently as a signal to the advancing procession.
In fig. 12, slab xix. has been drawn in juxtaposition with
the hitherto unplaced fragment No. 345, 12. This slab
was discovered in 1834.

Slab xx. is now lost, but a horse's head now at Athens XX.
(No. 345, 13; Michaelis, pi. 12, xx.) may perhaps belong
to it.

Slab xxi. contains the bodies and hind quarters of the XXI.
horses drawing the chariot seen on slab xxii. Between
the charioteer (No. 48) and his horse is a fragment,
showing the front of the chariot, and the tails of the
horses, of which the original is at Athens, and which is
not figured in Michaelis.
, 49. On the left of slab xxii. is a chariot wdth the charioteer XXII.
(No. 48) and apobates (No. 49) who is stepping into the
chariot. On the right of this slab is an attendant
(No. 50) standing at the heads of the horses of the last
chariot group. The lower fragments of this slab are at
Athens. The left-hand upper corner, which was wanting
in the time of Stuart, was brought home by Lord Elgin.
The upper fragment next to it, was once in the possession
of the Society of Dilettanti, and was presented by that
body. It had probably been brought from Athens by
Chandler.

Stuart, 2nd ed., II., p. 50, note C.

The chariot group represented on slabs xxii., xxiii. is XXIII.
represented as standing still, and was probably the last
