About work:
This is a fragment of the Parthenon’s architecture in Athens—the head of one of Helios' horses. In the foreground is a cross-section of a triglyph and a mutule seen from below. The small, LEGO-like details are called guttae. Like many elements in the classical order, they were inherited from wooden Greek temple and domestic architecture, where they were nail heads. In stone, they represent sculptural depictions of elements that had a functional role in wood. However, they should not be considered ornamentation or decoration. A Greek stone temple and its details are sculptural representations of their wooden prototypes. Calling these parts ornamentation or decoration is like calling the nose or fingers mere decorative details in a human sculpture
