From
the west pediment of the Temple of Athena Alea, Tegea. Athens, National
Museum. H. 0.32m. Badly damaged male head wearing a round helmet with
a neck guard. Short wavy hair visible beneath the helmet at the forehead.
The eyes are large and beseeching; the rest of the face is too damaged

The
west pediment represented the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. See Robertson
