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
