Fragment from left-hand lower corner of slab, with drapery falling
in vertical folds from below the knee of a figure; and with a
right foot turned to the right, and wearing a shoe with a thick
sole. The figure to which this fragment belongs must have been a
maiden in the procession; probably the figure on the left of slab
ii. now entirely lost, but preserved in Carrey's drawing.
Height, 1 foot. Compare Michaelis, pl. 14, slab ii., No. 2.
[Sidenote: 2.]
Female head, looking to the left. The hair is gathered up under
a net. This must have belonged to one of the figures in the
procession on the east side, slabs vii.-ix., and probably to No.
56.
Height, 4-1/2 inches.
NORTH FRIEZE.
[Sidenote: 3.]
Fragment of arm and drapery of male figure moving to the left.
From the left edge of a slab. This seems to be a part of the
figure, No. 4, partly seen on slab ii., and has been thus drawn on
plate vii.
Height, 1 foot 1 inch.
[Sidenote: 4.]
Left-hand upper corner of slab, on which is a youthful male head,
bound with a diadem, looking to the left; the face shown in three
quarters. This seems to agree best with Carrey's drawing of the
figure with the sheep, slab iv., No. 7 (= Michaelis, No. 9). See
plate vii.
Height, 7-1/2 inches.
[Sidenote: 5.]
Fragment containing the back of the head of one of the
lyre-players (Michaelis, No. 24) and part of the lyre of the other
(Michaelis, No. 25).
Height, 11-1/4 inches. (See Plate viii.) Michaelis, pl. 12, vii.
[Sidenote: 6.]
Fragment from lower part of draped figure from knee to right (?)
foot, the direction being to the left. On the right side of the
fragment is a joint. The drapery reaches to the ankle, with an
upper fold falling half-way down the calf. This fragment seems
to have belonged to the musician on slab vii., whose lyre is
preserved on the preceding fragment, and is thus drawn on Plate
viii. Michaelis is in error in marking a joint on the left of his
No. 26 (= Museum, No. 17).
Height, 1 foot 7-1/2 inches.
[Sidenote: 7.]
Fragment with left foot wearing a shoe, from a draped figure
moving to the left. The skirt falls just above the ankle. This
may be a part of the figure on slab i., only preserved in Carrey's
drawing (cf. Plate vii.); or it may have belonged to one of the
figures on slabs vii.--ix., notwithstanding that Carrey represents
them with bare feet.
Height, 7 inches.
[Sidenote: 8.]
Fragment from the left of slab ix., giving parts of the three
figures shown in Carrey's drawing (see Plate viii.). This fragment
agrees fairly well with Carrey, except that he does not
indicate the hand of the middle figure. It was discovered in the
excavations on the Acropolis in 1889.
Height, 2 feet.
[Sidenote: 9.]
