A procession of sixteen elderly men in himatia. They converse while walking or standing, or they turn to look behind them. One man ties a ribbon around his head while another has his hair arranged in braids that at the nape of the neck. Some once held branches shown in colour. They have been interpreted as the elders carrying olive branches or as city officials or supervisors of religious rites.5th Century BC frieze from the Parthenon, Athens, Greece.
