84.5.19 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
84.5.20 Blocks VII (figure 24), VIII, IX and X of the north frieze of the Parthenon, showing a section of the procession of the Panathenaic festival. Left half of cast shows four male kithara players. Right half of cast shows ten male elders proceeding leftwards. Blocks VIII and IX are reconstructed from drawings following damage to the originals. Block X is incorrectly reconstructed with differing poses for the group of male elders when compared to the surviving original
