Detail of a block of the mask and garland frieze from the South Agora.
On this block of this mask and garland frieze there is a clear difference in finish between the masks and garlands, which is a feature noticeable elsewhere on these blocks. This might suggest a division of labour between specialist garland and figure carvers. There is also a marked difference in technique and quality between blocks, suggesting that a range of carvers were involved in this major municipal project.
