FRAGMENTS OF PARTHENON TEDIMENTS (?). 195
accordance with that of the pedimental sculptures. This
fragment was formerly thought to belong to the Athene
of the western pediment, to which its scale would
correspond, but there are uo other grounds for the attri-
bution.
Height, 10 inches. Synopsis, No. 101 (118); Mus. Marbles, VI.,
pi. 16; Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 14.
329. Two feet, shod with leather, attached to a plinth. The
feet belonged to a figure striding to the (spectator's)
right. The left foot was advanced, and bore the weight
of the body. Between the feet a stump of a tree is attached
to the plinth. The feet appear to be those of a female
figure, which in that case must have worn a short chiton.
The fragment has been assigned by different writers to
the Athene of the west pediment, which is impossible, on
account of the attitude; to the Poseidon, which is impos-
sible, on account of the scale; and to the Athene of the
east pediment, about whom we have no information. It
has also, with more plausibility, been assigned to the
figure of Hermes (H; see Carrey's drawing), who accom-
panies the chariot of Athene on the west pediment. It is,
however, unlikely that that figure was shod with leather
shoes; and the stump also has to be accounted fox-. It is
very probable that the plinth does not belong to the
pedimental sculptures at all, and Sauer's plan of the floor
of the pediment seems to leave no room for it. It has
been suggested that it is part of an independent group of
Athene and Poseidon, which Pausanias saw on the Acro-
polis. But as to this there is no evidence either way.
Length, 4 feet 6 inches. Mm. Marbles, VI., pi. 8; Synopsis,
No. 256 (201); Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 4, p. 194; Joum. of
Hellen. Studies, III., p. 251.

right angle at the elbow. It comprises the upper arm,
