124 CATALOGUE OP SCULPTUEE.

.11. A colossal right foot, broken off at the ankle, and also
half-way between the instep and the toes. Less than
half of the sole is roughly cut with a drill, as if this part
of the foot had been slightly raised from the ground.
The heel and part of the sole under the instep have been
broken away. The scale is rather larger than that of
the preceding Nos. 9, 10, and it may therefore be the foot
of the Athene in the west pediment (but compare No. 336).

Length of fragment, 11J inches. Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 31; Laborde,
pi. 58, fig. 8.

12. Fragment of tail of some serpentine creature having
on the back a projecting ridge. This fragment has been
thought to be part of the tail of a Hippocamp attached to
the chariot of Amphitrite; but this is impossible, if, as
appears to be the case, she was driving a pair of horses.

Length, 1 foot 6 inches. Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 17; Laborde, pi. 24,
fig. 9.

13. Fragment of left thigh, near the knee, of colossal
figure; on it falls a corner of drapery to which is attached
a gland. Sauer proposes to assign this fragment to the
figure S of the west pediment.

Length, 9J inches. Athenische Mittheilungen, 1891, p. 79.

!*• Eight thigh and knee of a male figure, rather larger
than life. It is very doubtful whether this belongs to
the Parthenon.

Length, 10 inches.

15. Fragment of right leg of small figure, broken off above
ankle and below knee. It has been attached at the back.

Length, 11 inches.

16. Left hand of colossal female figure clasped round an
uncertain object. The hand is broken off at the wrist;
