This torso of Selene or Nyx from the Parthenon East pediment was designed to begin at the upper hip area and continue with the upper torso, head and arms of the goddess. After a long night traversing the night sky, we can imagine the goddess driving her chariot pulled by four horses as they descended below the horizon, or pediment floor. Beautiful folds in her belted dress captured the attention and curiosity of K.A. Schwab, leading to this drawing made on location in the Acropolis Museum. The original marble sculpture was carved in 438-432 B.C.E.
