180 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.326. 12. No. 12 is on foot, and stoops forward, looking towardsthe procession advancing from the right. His left footis raised on a rock, and he appears from the action ofhis arms to be tying his boot.13, 14. The n( xt slab contains two mounted figures (Nos. 13, VII.14). No. 14 wears a mantle of skin. He is the only figure,15. on this side of the frieze, thus decorated. No. 15 stands at VIII.the side of a rearing horse, trying to control him. Theviolence of the action is shown by the muscular strainand the disordered dress of this figure, who wears achiton, exomis,over which is a chlamys flying behind hisback. On his head is a leathern cap. The attire of thisfigure is precisely similar to that of No. 8 and No. 19.16-21. Then follow six mounted figures (Nos, 16-21), all moving IX.-Xl.rapidly to the left. One of these (No. 17) wears thepetasos, a flapping, broad-brimmed hat used by travellers.From No. 22 onward to the south-west angle, none of thefigures are mounted. The first group (Nos. 22-24) is XII.not unlike that already described (Nos. 4-6). A youth22. (No. 22) stands at the horse's head, and seems to be holdingthe reins. At the side of the horse stands a taller figure(No. 23), holding up his right hand as if giving an orderto a person at some little distance. In his left hand heholds a short wand. This figure seems t-o be a marshal,though his dress, a chiton girt at the waist and a chlamys,differs from that of all the other marshals on the frieze,while it frequently occurs among the riders. Behind the24. horse is a youth (No. 24) who, from his stature andattitude, is a groom or attendant ;a thick garment is castover his shoulders. Next is a much mutilated figure25. (No. 25), who seems to be pressing his right foot against XIII.the heel of his horse's right fore leg to make him extendhimself so as to lower his back for mounting. Behindthis figure a horse springs forward, free from the control26. of his rider (No. 26), who has let him go in order to assist XIV.
