A piece of the Parthenon in the Acropolis Museum. Two men on galloping horses. The first man is a youth who is wearing an anatomical cuirass made out of leather. The second is a bearded man, perhaps one of the two commanders of the Athenian cavalry. He is wearing an exomis (short cloak fastened on one shoulder), a windblown chlamys (cape), and other clothing typical of Thracian cavalry dress; an alopekis (fox-skin cap) and embades (boots).
