CASTS FROM FRAGMENTS OF METOPES.
[Sidenote: =343.=]
A large number of fragments have been discovered in the course of
excavations at Athens. Casts of these have been attached, as far
as possible to the Metopes. Of the fragments which could not be so
attached, the following are the most important.
[Sidenote: 1.]
South side, Metope XI. Fragment of shield, held by left hands of
both Centaur and Lapith; cf. Michaelis, pl. 3, No. xi. See p. 138.
[Sidenote: 2.]
Metope XVII. Torso of male figure, extending from the left
shoulder to half-way down the right thigh; drapery hangs from the
left shoulder and falls down the back to the waist. This figure
has stood on the right foot; the left leg appears to have been
bent. This metope, as drawn by Carrey, appears to have contained a
nearly nude male figure, standing, and a draped figure of a woman,
or citharist, holding a lyre.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xvii.
[Sidenote: 3.]
Metope XVII. Fragment, possibly part of a lyre; apparently this is
the object held in the hands of the draped figure of this metope.
There are traces of fingers at the back.
[Sidenote: 4.]
Metope XX. Fragment of right hand holding the end of a scroll.
This metope, as drawn by Carrey, contained two draped figures,
holding scrolls.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xx.
[Sidenote: 5.]
Metope XXIV. Torso of Lapith. In the complete metope, as drawn
by Carrey, the Lapith holds the fallen Centaur by the hair, and
places his left foot on his body.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xxiv.
[Sidenote: 6.]
Head of Lapith, perhaps from Metope No. 305. _Found in the
excavations on the Acropolis, of 1889._
Height, 7-1/2 inches.
MARBLE FRAGMENT OF FRIEZE.
[Sidenote: =344.=]
Head of a youth, looking to the left, in low relief. This fragment
probably belongs to one of the horsemen in the north frieze. It is
placed by Michaelis (pl. 13) in the space between slabs xxvi. and
xxviii. This head was formerly in the possession of Mr. Steinhaüser,
at Karlsruhe.
Height, 5-3/4 inches.
CASTS FROM FRAGMENTS OF THE FRIEZE.
[Sidenote: =345.=]
The fragments are here arranged, as far as possible, in the order
followed in the description of the frieze.
EAST FRIEZE.
[Sidenote: 1.]
