Description
Bibliography

Statue’s hand that preserves part of the palm along with the fingers. The fingers are tightly bent inwards, therefore, they must have gripped an object a reconstruction further supported by the cylindrical drill opened through the fist. The hand most possibly belongs to an equestrian who held his horse’s reins.

The fire traces on the marble’s surface were probably caused when the Persians set fire to the Acropolis in 480 BC.
