Subject Description:
The Wounded Warrior lies stretched along the edge of the pediment, propped on his right arm, facing outward. His heads points into the corner, like the Dying Warrior at the opposite end. His left thigh has been pierced by an arrow. The extant right hand is clenched. He is entirely nude. The long hair flows down his back in a single mass, like that of the opposite corner figure.
Form & Style:
The surface of the left corner figure is badly abraded and the head missing, but the mass of long hair on his back suggests that he had the elaborate archaic coiffure of the opposite corner figure. Given the similarity of the pose, it is likely that he was a stylistic twin, hence among the more conservative of the West Pediment figures.
