the Getty head. This is true even for the youthful head of Metope XVI and for the centaur of Metope V, both used for comparison by Martha Weber. Yet, as she rightly states, they share several details with the Malibu head. On the centaur, for example, the deep carving around the outer corner and under the eye fold is similar, and the tiny wrinkle doubling the upper eyelid is matched by the formation of the centaur's eye, though on him the tiny wrinkle is found on the inner corner instead of the outer. But the differences are stronger. Even if there is a great variety in the dimensions among the extant metope heads, the Malibu head is smaller, and smaller not only in dimensions. The greater softness, the lépiotes, brings in mind the Acropolis head of a youth No. 699, compared by Martha Weber 4 , though the expression of the Malibu head corresponds rather to the faces of the combatants, as she states. Thus, while Dr. Weber has convincingly established the stylistic affinity of the Malibu head with the Parthenon sculptures, its placement on the South Metopes does not seem definite. The poorly preserved North side, originally in a more advanced style, may provide a better possibility, but without any categorical conclusion implied 5 . Jifí Freí Malibu 1. 75.AA.47; listed in Recent Acquisitions of Antiquities, The J. Paul Getty Museum, June 1st • September 3, 1976, no. 1: "Marble head, probably from a Parthenon metope (identified as such by Prof. Ernst Berger), about 440 B.C. Possibly the head of a young warrior from a lost North metope." 2. Here are some noses repaired in Antiquity in a comparable way: A/ clear cut in one surface, without metallic pin; 1) head of a youth, Athens, the Ceramicus 758, Freí AAA 5 (1972) 74, 76, figs. 3-4. A.Delivorias, Attische Giebelskulpturen und Akroterien des 5. Jahrhunderts (1974) 164 sqq., pis. 56 b-d, 57; 2) veiled female head, Rhodes, G.Konstantinopoulos-S.Meletzis-H.Papadakis, Rhodes (4th éd., 1972) fig. 24; 3) head of Ptolemy IV, Paris, Louvre, H.Kyrieleis, Bildnisse der Ptolemaer (1975), 46 sqq., 171 nr. D 3, pis. 34-35 (the cut off nose and chin would be modem restoration, but the surface is ancient; there is a clear cut in the marble and the surface of the head was repolished in Antiquity, thus an ancient restoration seems to be a preferable explanation than a pentimento); B/ cut is less regular, comparable to the Getty head: portrait of a young African, Boston MFA, M.B.Comstock-C.C.Vermeule, Sculpture in Stone (1976) nr.339 (the modern restoration has been removed after the publication of the catalogue); C/ cut is irregular, with an iron pin - 1) head of Socrates, Boston MFA, Comstock-Vermeule nr.120; head of an Athenian stratèges ("Alcibiades", New York MMA, G.Richter, Catalogue of Greek Sculpture (1954) nr.104. 3. The best example is the head of the Lapith from the South metope XXX, where the original height of the hair is cut down and the fist of the centaur, without any direct touch with the skull of his oponent, is "supported" by a pseudo puntello- F.Brommer, Die Metopen des Parthenon (1967) pls.229,230. 4. See above, p. 7, fig. 6. The hair of this head was also completely reçut in Antiquity. The volume was reduced and the curls were suppressed. 5. For a new head from the Parthenon, discovered in Copenhagen, see M.Moltensen, AA 1976 53 sqq. E. LaRocca found still another in the storeroom of the Capitoline Museum. Finally, there is a bearded head in the storeroom of the National Museum of Athens, carved in Parian marble, which in style and technique is very close to the centaur's head from the IX metope and to the head associated with the Lapith from the same metope (Brommer pis. 195-1%); a substitute for a head, lost already in the 5th century, soon after the sculptures were finished 20
