Height (to elbow), 1 foot 11 inches. Plate VI., fig. 2. In part
given by Michaelis, pl. 8, fig. 40; _Synopsis_, No. 342 (268).
[Sidenote: =331.=]
Left arm of female figure, bent, from near the shoulder, to a little
above the elbow. Drapery, thrown over the arm at the elbow joint,
falls partly on the upper and partly on the fore arm. In the drapery
of the upper arm is a hole for the attachment of an object in metal.
This fragment seems best suited to the figure N. (See Carrey's
drawing.)
Length, armpit to elbow, 1 foot 4-1/4 inches. Michaelis, pl. 8,
fig. 26; _Synopsis_, No. 315 (271*).
[Sidenote: =332.=]
Right arm of female figure, slightly bent, formed of two fragments
united at the elbow. This may, perhaps, belong to figure F.
Length, 2 feet 7-1/2 inches. Michaelis (pl. 8, fig. 30) gives the
upper arm; _Synopsis_ No. 339 (269).
[Sidenote: =333.=]
Left forearm of female figure, broken off above the elbow (Michaelis,
pl. 8, fig. 28). To this is united a cast of a fragment at Athens with
the wrist, which is bent a little inwards. The arm must have been bent
at the elbow.
Length, elbow to wrist, 1 foot 7 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 314
(272).
[Sidenote: =334.=]
Forearm of female figure. Michaelis (pl. 8, fig. 29) thinks that it
may have belonged either to figure O or W of the west pediment.
Length, 11-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 311 (264).
[Sidenote: =335.=]
Fragment of left thigh, above life size. Michaelis (pl. 8, fig. 39)
calls this a female fragment, and suggests the nude seated female
figure S of the west pediment. But he seems to be in error as to the
sex, and the fragment seems more appropriate to the figure of the boy,
E, in the same pediment.
Length, 1 foot. _Synopsis_, No. 312 (267).
[Sidenote: =336.=]
Fore part of right foot of female figure, resting on a thick sole. The
foot belonged to a colossal figure, which, can hardly have been other
than the Athenè of the west pediment.
Length, 1 foot 1-3/4 inches (length of second toe, 3-3/4 inches).
Michaelis. pl. 8, fig. 32; _Synopsis_, No. 340 (244).
[Sidenote: =337.=]
Piece of drapery, which must have hung free, apparently from the
shoulder and outstretched right arm of a colossal figure. At the upper
extremity is part of a dowel hole, showing that the marble had been
attached here by a joint.
Height, 2 feet 1-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 343 (144).
[Sidenote: =338.=]
Fragment of right shoulder and arm as low as the deltoid. The upper
arm presses against the side. This fragment may belong to the boy P on
the left of Q in the west pediment.
Height, 11 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 303 (133).
