Description
Like most of the main figures on the Zoilos Monument none of the major elements of these figures are carved across the lines between blocks. This means that these panels could have been carved separately before they were inserted into the monument with only background details and perhaps projecting arms left for finishing in place.

Notes

These panels are arranged in the wrong order in this image. The panel to the right, which depicts Zoilos and Timé/Honour, actually belongs further to the left along this side of the monument.
