7. Torso of a warrior armed with a large shield, who moves to the left front. The head, now wanting, was probably turned to the group next on the right, which consists of two male figures. The one on the left is evidently a victor holding a prisoner, who has his hands tied behind his back. The victor wears a chiton heteromaschalos, while the prisoner wears a chlamys.
Between this group and the next figure is a space, in which should be a male figure standing, turned a little to the right, and wearing a chlamys. He appears to be giving an order to the figure on the right.
Length, 3 feet 8 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX., pl. 17. For missing figure, see Stuart, III., ch. I., pl. 20; Overbeck, Gr. Plast., 3rd ed. I., p. 348.
8. Male figure turned to the left, and bending forward. Both arms have been extended in front of the body. The figure wears a helmet and a chiton girt at the waist. The left foot, which is advanced, rested on a higher level than the right foot. There is some uncertainty as to the motive of this figure. Stuart restores it as engaged in the erection of a trophy, and this is accepted by Schultz, De Theseo, p. 26; cf. Overbeck, Gr. Plast., 3rd ed., I., p. 353. For this however there is very little room. Leake suggested that the figure was engaged adjusting his greave (Topogr. of Athens, 2nd ed., p. 511).
Length, 1 foot 6 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX., pl. 17.
