the girdle, is a projection where something has been

right thigh.

1021. The figure on the left, already described in No. 1020, is
completed on this slab, and proves the connexion of the
two. Next to it is another group of three figures, being
a combat between a Greek and Amazon over a wounded
Greek. The wounded man falls forward on his knees.
The left hand rests on the ground, and the right arm
appears to be resting momentarily on the left thigh of the
unwounded Greek. The whole body is relaxed. The
Amazon makes an onslaught from the right, with raised
battle-axe. She wears a short chiton, girt at the waist.
The antagonist of the Amazon has his left foot ad-
vanced ; with his shield on his left arm he seeks to defend
his prostrate comrade. His right hand perhaps grasped the
arm of the falling man,- he is armed with a Corinthian
helmet, with a crest; a belt passes obliquely from his
right shoulder to his left side; the upper part of the
sword suspended from it is faintly indicated on the
marble. A chlamys hangs from his left shoulder, floating
behind.
On the right of this group are two combatants; a Greek
advancing from the left raises his right hand above his
left shoulder to deal a blow with his sword at an Amazon
who rests on the ground in a semi-recumbent position.
Her right arm is raised for defence above her head. Her
antagonist has his back turned to the spectator, and, with
his right foot advanced, leans forward over the Amazon,
about to deliver a blow with the sword, which must have
