APC Image: AK 1027: Two fragments from Erechtheum frieze. Left: Tiny fragment of drapery with a smooth surface in the back, found among the small marble chips collected from different parts of the excavation. Its attribution to the frieze, which is based on the smooth back, is, of course, conjectural. Right: Upper part of right arm with piece of drapery thrown over the arm from the back and hanging down in front. The drapery is not finished on the back. To judge from the weathering at the break above the elbow, the lower arm seems to have been broken away while the statue was still in its place. The break at the shoulder looks fresh by comparison.
