MARBLE FRAGMENTS OF METOPES.
[Sidenote: =342.=]
The following fragments can be assigned with confidence to their
respective places on the south side.
[Sidenote: 1.]
Metope XII. (No. 314). Foot of female figure. See _ante_, No. 314.
[Sidenote: 2.]
Metope XIV. The body of a male figure from the neck to the navel.
This fragment is engraved in the vignette to _Museum Marbles_,
Part vii., and was drawn by Carrey, who gives the whole metope
as a youth raising his hands in astonishment, and a woman with a
casket.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xiv.; _Synopsis_, No. 319 (143).
[Sidenote: 3.]
Metope XVI. The head and trunk of a figure who has fallen in a
combat between two men. The trunk was one of the Elgin fragments,
and is also engraved in the vignette to _Museum Marbles_, Part
vii. The head was formerly at Chatsworth, and was presented to
the Museum by _the Duke of Devonshire_ in 1859. Carrey gives the
position of the head of the fallen figure very accurately.
_Synopsis_, No. 323 (294); Michaelis, pl. 3, xvi.
[Sidenote: 4.]
Metope XX. Left thigh of female figure with clinging drapery,
standing turned to the left.
The following fragments are either of doubtful or unknown origins.
Probably they are all derived from metopes on the south side.
