APC Image: AK 1037Two fragments of sculpture. Left: Part of left foot, larger than life size, of coarse island marble. Only the hill is preserved, but the position shows that the foot was raised so that the hill is held high above the base. The back is smooth and at the bottom is a dowel hole. A figure of this size fastened to a smooth surface at the back can only have been part of a pediment group. It probably belonged to one of the smaller figures of the Hekatompedon pediment. Right: Part of hand, slightly larger than life size, of very coarse island marble, found near the bottom of the pit close to the Parthenon drum. The break on the inside shows that the hand was held close to the body, and the fingers were held out straight.
