in a state of preparation, so that this slab prepares a
transition to the west side. In the foreground is a rider
107. (No. 107), standing by his rearing horse, whom he holds by
the rein with his right hand. In the background beyond
106. this group is a mounted figure (No. 106), so entirely
concealed by the rearing horse in the foreground that the
only evidence of his presence is his right hand advanced
just beyond his horse's shoulder point.
109. To the right is a rider (No. 109) standing by his horse,
and in the act of drawing down his chiton under his
110. girdle in front, while a youthful attendant (No. 110)
assists him by pulling it down behind, or perhaps by
tying the lower girdle over which the folds were drawn.
