!• 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.

Michaelis, pi. 8, J. K. a; Laborde, pi. 26, fig. 25.

2. Horse's head, lower half broken away. The mane
hogged, with a loose lock in front. Behind the ears a
groove and two perforations are worked in the mane, and
above the ears two other perforations for the attachment
of trappings of metal.

Overbeck, Bar. d. k. sacks. Ges. d. Wissensohaften, 1879, pi. 1, fig. 3.

3. A right hindleg from the stifle joint to the pastern,
bent, so as to indicate a rearing action. From below the
hough to the hoof the leg is carved out of a block resting
on the bed of the pediment. The greater part was sculp-
tured on another block also set in the bed, which is now
wanting, and was fitted to the first block at a joint
roughly tooled, of which a small part remains. The
outside of the haunch and hough have been cut away,
evidently to gain room for the left hindleg of another
horse, or, according to Sauer, for the chariot-pole. This
limb is composed of three separate fragments.
