A group of draped persons moving to right, and composed of the following figures:-- Man (much mutilated) standing to right and turning to front. He holds a whisk in the right hand, and a spear in the left hand. Man, carrying a spear over the left shoulder, supporting it with both hands clasped. Man moving to right but looking back. He carries a spear on the left shoulder; right hand holds a fold of the drapery. Man with spear on left shoulder and whisk in right hand. Man with spear on right shoulder; left hand holds an edge of the himation. Man with spear on left shoulder. The front part only of this figure is preserved. The standing figures all wear a long chiton, with long sleeves, and a himation which is wrapped closely about the body, passing under the right arm and over the left shoulder. The size and treatment of the horses on the frieze, and the use of whisks by the standing figures, show Oriental influences, although the artistic style is distinctly Greek. The upright crest on the head of the horse in the fourth group is seen on the horses of Persepolitan sculpture. Compare the Persepolitan casts in the British Museum, assigned to 500 B.C., and Fellows, _Lycia_, p. 173. The ends of the horses' tails are also tied with ribbon in the same way as here. Saddle-cloths occur on early vases from Daphnae (Petrie, _Nebesheh and Defenneh_, pl. 29, fig. 4), and on painted sarcophagi from Clazomenae (_Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, iv., p. 19, fig. 14). The traces of Persian fashion make it probable that this relief is later than the Persian conquest of Xanthos by Harpagos (about 545 B.C.). The architectural disposition of the frieze has not been ascertained. The slabs were found by Fellows, inserted in a wall of late date on the Acropolis of Xanthos (Benndorf, _Reisen in Lykien_, i., p. 86), but it is clear from the square holes that occur at intervals of 4 ft. 8 in., that stone beams, imitating wood construction, must once have projected, and from the raised border round the holes it is seen that this was the intention of the artist. It is probable that the frieze belonged to a tomb, and perhaps represented a funeral procession. It is not possible to say whether it was on the outside or on the inside of the building. (Compare Nos. 87, 88, and the tomb of Giöl-Baschi. Compare also the casts of reliefs from Pinara, Nos. 761-4, for the projecting beam ends.)--_Acropolis of Xanthos._ A similar procession occurs on a sarcophagus from Amathus. (Cesnola, _Cyprus_, pl. 14.)
