Glypthoteke - Pediment sculpture. It used the fit in the A-shaped roofs of important buildings. This one was on display at the museum. Athena (the person to which the building worships) is the tallest and in the middle. The other statues are in different battle poses which get further and further to the ground whereas the last figure is laying on the ground! You can kind of see how the roof would be shaped by observing the statues. This is the best preserved pediment sculpture and even it is in pieces
