V.1 Central panel of the monteleone chariot after the 2002 restoration. Credit line for all the parts of the chariot illustrated in this section: The metropolitan museum of art, rogers Fund, 1903 (03.23.1). all new photographs of the chariot pieces were taken by Peter Zeray, Photograph Studio, mma. 66
V.2 Central panel, back pattern. each half of the shield carries one device: a gorgoneion in the upper part and the face of a panther in the lower. The Gorgon’s hair is parted in the middle, and three locks are arranged behind the ears. These flow down the sides of the head to where the woman’s and the warrior’s hands hold the shield, hence the locks are not the same length on the two sides. The very ends of the single locks are caught in rings and terminate in a knot. The chin and cheeks are framed by a beard with flamelike incisions. The eyelashes and eyebrows are finished with tracing. Two groups of three incised lines on the nose represent wrinkles; the eyes and mouth were originally completed with ivory inlays that were themselves inlaid with other materials. The panther in the lower part of the shield is shown full face. it is very stylized and its nose abuts the edge of the shield. The fur on the forehead is parted into two clumps containing a serried pattern of large, irregularly flattened oblong rings filled with tiny punched dots bordered by double traced lines; two V.3 Central panel. drawing by Paul Bollo, 1903 circular dotted protuberances indicate the warts; the very pronounced double swellings under the eyes and the whiskers on either side of the nose are created by a pattern of long, petal-shaped forms in relief finished with tiny punched dots. The eyelashes and eyebrows are finished with tracing. The eyes were originally completed with ivory inlays that, in turn, were inlaid with other materials to differentiate the irises and the pupils. 1 The Corinthian helmet faces right and is surmounted by a ram’s head supporting a crest. The lower edge and cheekpieces show the same pattern as the one incised on the borders of the warrior’s greaves. a palmette is traced in the rear corner of the eye opening; there is a lotus flower where the neck guard meets the cheekpiece. The anatomy of the ram’s head is executed in detailed relief; its eyelashes and eyebrow are finished with tracing, as is the nose area, with its fine, dotted pattern. The fleece of the ram’s long neck has imbricated, pendant curly locks executed in relief. The Monteleone Chariot V: Catalogue 67
