170 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.325. 34. The warrior (No. 34) attached to the chariot was completein the time of Carrey. The upper half was lostbefore the time of Stuart, and was only re-discovered inthe latest excavations on the Acropolis in 1889. He isrepresented standing on theground, and looking back tothe next chariot. His shield is raised as if to stop itscourse. The wheel of this chariot, as of some thatsucceed it, must have been, in part, wholly detachedfrom the ground. The foot of the marshal is complete,but it is easy to trace where the wheel prevented theconvenient working of the ground beneath it.

Closebehind the wheel are traces of a horse's forefoot, which.
