FRAGMENTS OF PARTHENON SCULPTURES. 119

hard, conventional style, however, is not in accordance
with that of the pedimental sculptures. This fragment
was formerly thought to helong to the Athene of the
western pediment, to which its scale would correspond,
hut there are no other grounds for the attribution.

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 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 impossible, 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 accompanies the chariot of Athene on the west pedi-
ment. It is, however, unlikely that that figure was shod
with leather shoes; and the stump also has to be accounted
for. 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 Acropolis. But as to this there is no evidence either
way.

Length, 4 feet 6 inches. Mus. Marbles, VI., pi. 8; Synopsis,
No. 256 (201); Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 4, p. 194; Journ. of
Hellen. Studies, III., p. 251 ; Schwerzek, Erlauterungen, p. 21.

330. Part of colossal right arm of female figure, bent at a
right angle at the elbow. It comprises the upper arm,
