CASTS FROM FRAGMENTS OF METOPES.
[Sidenote: =343.=]
A large number of fragments have been discovered in the course of excavations at Athens. Casts of these have been attached, as far as possible to the Metopes. Of the fragments which could not be so attached, the following are the most important.
[Sidenote: 1.]
South side, Metope XI. Fragment of s.h.i.+eld, held by left hands of both Centaur and Lapith; cf. Michaelis, pl. 3, No. xi. See p. 138.
[Sidenote: 2.]
Metope XVII. Torso of male figure, extending from the left shoulder to half-way down the right thigh; drapery hangs from the left shoulder and falls down the back to the waist. This figure has stood on the right foot; the left leg appears to have been bent. This metope, as drawn by Carrey, appears to have contained a nearly nude male figure, standing, and a draped figure of a woman, or citharist, holding a lyre.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xvii.
[Sidenote: 3.]
Metope XVII. Fragment, possibly part of a lyre; apparently this is the object held in the hands of the draped figure of this metope.
There are traces of fingers at the back.
[Sidenote: 4.]
Metope XX. Fragment of right hand holding the end of a scroll.
This metope, as drawn by Carrey, contained two draped figures, holding scrolls.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xx.
[Sidenote: 5.]
Metope XXIV. Torso of Lapith. In the complete metope, as drawn by Carrey, the Lapith holds the fallen Centaur by the hair, and places his left foot on his body.
Michaelis, pl. 3, xxiv.
[Sidenote: 6.]
Head of Lapith, perhaps from Metope No. 305. _Found in the excavations on the Acropolis, of 1889._
