1802 cast of the West Frieze of the Parthenon Block VII

The flow of movement created by the six horsemen of blocks XI through to IX was interrupted by figure 15 in block VIII. Now in this block we see just two horsemen moving left. They ride bareheaded, and figure 14 wears a cloak made from the skin of a feline animal, the paws of which can be seen flying behind. Figure 14 is barefoot, but the hanging left boot of 13 wears a sandal.
