Casts from Fragments of Chariot-Horses of West

Pediment.

341. A large number of small fragments of horses from the
west pediment has been discovered. Several of these
fragments have been proved to have belonged to the
horses of Poseidon, which were lost before the visit of
Cyriac of Ancona, in 1447. Others belonged to the group
of horses, which was let fall by Morosini's workmen.
Casts of these are preserved in the British Museum, but
only the most remarkable are exhibited in the Elgin
Boom.

1. Horse's head broken off at the setting off of the neck.
The nose wanting. The mane, which has been hogged,
and the surface of this head in several places are broken
away. This fragment and the two following are assigned
by Sauer to the chariot of Poseidon.
