Summary

Description

Metope fragment from the Temple of Apollo at Bassae. British Museum. Personal photograph 2005.

British Museum notice: "The Metopes. Fragments of the metopes were found at both ends of the temple. Tey come from a Doric frieze of triglyphs and methopes over the two porcehs within the colonnade. The subject matter of the twelve metopes is uncertain. Among the many smaller fragments there are glimpses of women dancing or moving rapidly, a seated old man and other male figures." This fragment is a "Head of an Amazon".
