110 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
327. Similar rivet holes occur in the shields of Nos. 61 and 66.
Michaelis supplies the heads of the horses on this slab by
a fragment which belongs to the cavalcade of horsemen.
(See slab xxii., above).
The connexion shown by Carrey between slabs xxiv.
and xxv. is also proved by a fragment which has been
added to the lower corner on the right of slab xxiv. since
the work of Michaelis was published. This fragment, of
which the original is at Athens, gives part of the wheel
of the chariot of xxv. and the forefeet of the horses
of xxiv.
In slab xxv. the horses' heads now wanting are given XXV.
60. in Carrey's drawing. Of the charioteer (No. 60) very
little is now visible but part of his drapery. The armed
61. figure (No. 61) in this chariot group, whose appearance
is more youthful than that of the other hoplites in this
part of the frieze, wears a chiton with a double girdle
and a chlamys. Near the edge of his shield are two
rivet holes for a bronze handle; in the upper one the
62. metal still remains. The marshal (No. 62) standing at
the side of the horses stretches out his right hand towards
the charioteer with the forefinger extended, a gesture
■which indicates that he is giving an order. The rivet
holes on the horses' crests show that the reins were of
bronze.
Slabs xxvi., xxvii., of Michaelis, contained two chariot XXVI.,
groups which we only know through Carrey's drawings. XXVII.
In both, the horses are springing forward; cf. No. 345, 20.
Michaelis inserts to represent slab xxviii. a fragment XXVIII.
which belongs to the north side, slab xxiv.
The lower corner on the left side of xxix. has been XXIX.
cast from a fragment at Athens, which has been identified
since the publication of the work of Michaelis. This
fragment supplies the missing part of the wheel and a
small piece of flying drapery belonging to one of the
327. Similar rivet holes occur in the shields of Nos. 61 and 66.
