This cast, which copies a section from the North side of the Parthenon (slab VI) is now in the Acropolis Museum (object number 864). On it we see three young men carrying hydriai (water jars) probably to a great feast in the city.

Blocks IV (figures 10 to 12), V, VI and VII (figures 20 to 24) of the north frieze of the Parthenon, showing a section of the procession of the Panathenaic festival. Left of cast shows males leading a ram to sacrifice, centre of cast shows males carrying trays (skaphe) and water jars and right of cast shows male aulos players with a male in the background handling a boar. The tray-carriers and aulos-players are reconstructed from drawings following damage to the original blocks (V, VII). The water-carriers, despite the original block (VI) surviving almost completely intact, has the correct hydriai replaced by round squat vessels, and the boar is in the original a hydria being lifted from the ground
