In their still room in the museum, we can see how beautifully they are carved. The jowls of the horse, its muzzle, the backs of the other gods – all things that could not have been seen when they were on their high perch – are cut with as much care as though they had been made for the floor of the great temple.

jowls – lower part of an animal’s cheek
muzzle – jaws and nose of an animal
