The frieze shows the procession of the Panathenaic festival, the commemoration of the birthday of the goddess Athena. This block shows parts of four horsemen in a dramatic display of overlapping one on another. The horsemen wear a short tunic belted at the waist and animal skin boots with a top flap. Metal reins, which are now lost, were inserted in drill-holes. The temple known as the Parthenon was built on the Acropolis of Athens between 447 and 438 BC. It was part of a vast building programme masterminded by the Athenian statesman Perikles (died 429 BC). Inside the temple stood a colossal statue representing Athena, patron goddess of the city. The statue, which no longer exists, was made of gold and ivory and was the work of the celebrated sculptor Pheidias.
