In the exhibit space, each section of the frieze has a placard, which describes the scene depicted on the section of frieze as well as the cardinal direction and number in the frieze series. The marble frieze, which dates c. 438- 432 BC, depicts a Panathenaic procession. The label for the east frieze V, 36- 37 reads as follows: "Athena sits looking in the direction of the procession. Her right hand held a bronze spear, which was attached separately but is not missing. Next to her is the smith-god Hephaistos. He has a crutch places under his right armpit."
