Funerary Base for a Kouros: Ball-players

Two ball-players carved on the frontal side of a base for a funerary kouros. Found in Athens, Kerameikos area. On the lateral sides, two horsemen and the fight between lion and boar.
The two male figures are portrayed combining profile heads with frontal torso; their poses are very active and their musculatures sharply articulated; the treatment of the anatomical details is astonishing. They recall athletes carved on the sides of the bases that supported marble statues used as grave monuments, especially some of the athletes on the ball-player base in Athens, National Museum NM 3476 .
Both the bass-reliefs come from the Themistoklean Wall in Athens.
