Name:	Charioteer
Picture:
Description:	From the chariot frieze, Mausoleum of Halikarnassos. London, British Museum. H. 1.02m. The upper and lower parts of this reconstructed frieze do not belong together. A young man wearing a long pleated chiton, hair bound in a fillet, standing in typical charioteer stance, head and upper torso bent forwards over the reins. The lower section of the frieze is rather indistinct, but seems to be flying draperies and rocks rather than a chariot.
Date:	c. 350 B.C.
Discussion:	The Mausoleum of Halikarnassos was designed by four of the greatest sculptors of the age, who each took one side of the building. The charioteer came from either the west (executed by Leochares) or from the east (executed by Skopas). See Robertson 1981: 163, fig. 221; Stewart 1990: 180-2, 281-6.
