    Siphnian Treasury East Side
    Reconstruction by Tournaire
    The building is articulated by exquisitely carved Ionic mouldings and apart from the maidens in the porch had sculptured acroteria (Nikai), a frieze all round over the architrave, and two pediment groups of which that on the back is preserved.
    The East pediment is unusual in having the lower parts of the figures engaged with the back wall, their upper parts in the round with the background deeply recessed.
    About 525 BCE
