Roman marble copy of the shield of the gold and ivory statue of Athena from the Parthenon, showing Pheidias and Pericles as two men standing back-to-back below the central mask of a gorgon: Pheidias the balding figure on the left with arms raised, with Perikles to the right, one foot raised on a fallen Amazon and arms raised obscuring his face from view. Traces of the original paint remain. [1]
