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
