## The Peplos Procession Walks Again: A Parthenon Frieze Plaque

Citizens of ancient Athens gather for the most sacred moment of their festival. This **Parthenon frieze plaque** reproduces a scene from the Athenian procession honoring the goddess Athena. It is part of the ceremony of presenting the peplos cloak.

The peplos was a robe offered to the statue of Athena at the center of the Parthenon. The frieze shows the climactic scene of the entire festival. It is reproduced here after an original plaque in the Louvre Museum, dated 445 to 438 BC. The Parthenon frieze plaque is reproduced from that tradition.

The Ergastines, or weavers, helped make the cloak. Their calm, rhythmic figures show how Greek sculptors could turn ritual into poetry. This Ergastines Athenian procession relief keeps that quiet order. This Greek wall relief keeps the rhythm.

## A Long Frieze in a Single Slab

Together they form the finest record of Classical Greek relief carving.
