Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Part of the first frieze, which is the lower, larger frieze at top of the podium of the Nereid monument. It represents a series of heroic combats. This slab shows an archer, horseman and foot soldier. To the left an archer, wearing a helmet and shield, is taking aim to the left. As both arms are free, his shield must be slung over his shoulder. Attached to the lower part of the shield and hanging down from it, is a piece of drapery which falls nearly to his ankles. It would be a useful defence against arrows. Next to the archer is a young warrior on a horse, rearing to the left. The warrior wears a helmet, cuirass with pteryges, short tunic, chlamys and high boots with top flaps that have a leopard’s head at the end of the fringe. To the right is a bearded foot soldier, wearing a helmet, cuirass with pteryges, short tunic and chlamys and holding a shield, advancing to the right. In his right hand he probably held a spear. Weapons and reins may have been painted. |
