Relief of Striding Warriors
The Relief of Striding Warriors by Phidias depicts two male figures carved in a stone relief. The relief is rectangular with rough edges and a flat, light-colored stone background. The two figures are positioned facing each other. The figure on the left has short hair and is wearing a short loincloth. He is holding his arms up and appears to be interacting with the figure on the right. The figure on the right also has short hair and is similarly attired. He appears to be mirroring the stance of the figure on the left. The figures' muscles are defined and their facial expressions are obscured. The relief appears to be an ancient Greek artwork.
