Considered by some to be the most unique and refined of the Parthenon sculptures, the frieze was carved into the blocks of the inner colonnade. The frieze sculptures stand about one meter tall, and once ran continuously for 160 meters around the four sides of the Parthenon. Carved in low relief, the frieze is believed to depict the Panathenaic Procession. Large sections of the north and south frieze were destroyed in an explosion in 1687. Please note that these are low-res models at 10% of the scanned polygons.
