West
pediment, Temple of Zeus, Olympia. Olympia Museum. H. 0.38m. Head
of male Lapith being bitten by an attacking Centaur. His hair is curly
and close-cropped, eyes staring wide with surprise, flaring nostrils
and a wide mouth that is formed into a cross between a grimace and
an archaic grin, making the face look a little moronic. |
