The Great Panathenaea – West Frieze
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 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 an original member and not a replica.
