Cast no.02
Abstract
Woman and centaur, part of a group from the west pediment.
Ashmole and Yalouris figs. H and I.
H 36 in., W 52 in., D 20 in.
Metropolitan Catalogue: Cast no. 469.
Cast Location: DeLaskey Bldg- front hall
In this group, a centaur attacks a Greek woman who attempts to fight him off. The centaur is intended to look barbaric: he has disheveled hair and beard and a vicious expression. The face of the Lapith woman, however, is smooth and untroubled by expression of any sort, as if to show that the Greeks are above all this barbarity.
