The Great Panathenaea – West Frieze (no. 54)
You are standing in the middle of the pediment in front of the figure of Poseidon. The next exhibit is just behind the pediment to the inner side of the exhibition space. Just walk back along the pediment and turn right. Continue along its other side this time. To reach the sculptures of the western frieze move to the inner side. Our point of interest is block VIII (official audio guide no. 54) found in the middle of the frieze. It represents a horse-back rider. Ηis arm is raised and his garment is waving. His face is not preserved. The color of the stone here is brown since this is the original piece and not a replica.
