ADDENDA : THE PAKTHENON. 45-5
Parthenos. The head and right arm were separate pieces,
inserted in sockets, and are now lost. The left arm is
broken away, at the middle of the upper arm, and the
greater part of the shield is also lost. The drapery
resembles that of No. 300 in its general lines, but is
worked throughout with more subtlety and consideration.
The aegis is smaller, with scalloped edges, and smooth
surface; the Gorgoneion is of the early type, with pro-
truding tongue. The figures preserved on the shield
include the prostrate figure (c; cf. No. 302), which is an
Amazon on other copies, but in this case has the forms of
a male figure. The vanquished Amazon seized by a
Greek (d) is preserved in part. Of the Greek, only the
feet remain.
The original, which is of Peutelic marble, was found at Patras
(where it remains) probably in 1896. The cast was presented
by M. Kavvadias. Height (with plinth), 3 feet. British School
Annual, III., pi. 9; C. Smith, ibidem, p. 121; A. H. Smith,
Sculptures of the Parthenon, 2nd ed., No. 300a.
2731 ( = 304 P, Q.). Leucothea with boy (?). The upper
part of this boy has been recognised (by Schwerzek) in a
torso that had formerly been taken for a fragment of a
Lapith from a metope (No. 342, 2, in the first edition of
this Catalogue). The right arm was still preserved in
the time of Carrey, but the head and left arm were in their
present state.—Joum. of Hellen, Studies, xiii., pi. 5, p. 88.
2732 (= 308). Metope of the Parthenon. The head of the
Centaur is cast from the original at Wurzburg, and was
added in 1897. The thumb and fingers of the Lapith are
seen in the Centaur's beard, and a part of his wrist is
attached to the Centaur near his throat.
For the head see Treu, Jahrbuch des Arch. Inst., 1897, p. 101,
correcting the attribution (No. 306) proposed by Michaelis,
ibid., 1896, p. 300.
