Parthenon Frieze Recreation B

Parthenon Frieze Recreation B
Parthenon Frieze Recreation B Chariot(about 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, resin cast). The Parthenon frieze is the low relief, pentelic marble sculpture created to adorn the upper part of the Parthenon’s naos. It was sculpted between ca. 443 and 438 BC, most likely under the direction of Pheidias. At present, the majority of the frieze is at the British Museum in London (forming the major part of the Elgin Marbles)Wikipedia. This is a votive relief called the "Contest of apobates". The apobate ('dismounter') was a fully armed warrior who rode in a chariot for a while, dismounted, and ran alongside the chariot for a time, and then jumped back onto the chariot.
