by a projection below the toes of the Amazon's left foot.
The left foreleg of the horse is out off above the knee
by the joint of the slab. The antagonist of the Amazon
draws back. His right arm was advanced, and was
probably in the act of dealing the Amazon a blow with a
sword. He wears a Corinthian crested helmet, chlamys,
and shield. The general surface of this group is in good
condition, and parts of the astragalos moulding along the
top are preserved.
Length, 5 feet 11^ inches; height of this and of the other slabs of the
frieze, 2 feet llg inches. Mon. deli' Inst., V., pi. 18 ; Annali dell'
Inst, 1850, p. 289; Overbeck, Or. Plastik, 4th ed., II., fig. 171,
ser. iv., 1, 2; Antike Denkmaeler, II., pi. 16, slab vi.; Brunn,
Den/tmaelcr, No. 98 ; Mansell, No. 723; Baumeister, II., p. 899.
1007. Combat of a Greek and an Amazon over a fallen
Amazon. The Greek, who is on the left side of the slab,
draws back. His right arm is wanting from below the
elbow, and it is uncertain what its action was. Perhaps
he was withdrawing a spear (compare a similar incident
on the frieze of the Nereid Monument). He is bearded,
and wears a Corinthian helmet, shield, and chlamys;
his right heel is slightly raised. The Amazon, his
antagonist, presses forward from the right with her right
foot advanced; the action of both arms shows that she
is drawing a bow, which must have been painted on the
background;' she is bareheaded, her hair falls down her
back in ringlets; there are traces of a diadem round the
hair. She wears a short chiton, girt at the waist, under
which is a jerkin with sleeves, and trousers; at her
left side is a quiver. The left arm from the wrist
to the elbow is a separate fragment, found on the site of
the Mausoleum in 1857-9; on the sleeve are traces of red
colour. The fallen Amazon lies prostrate at full length.
She wears a chiton, reaching to the knees and girt at the
waist; it leaves the right shoulder bare; on her legs are
