Porch of the Maidens

The Porch of the Caryatids is part of the Erechtheion, an ancient Greek temple atop the Acropolis in Athens. The temple was built around 400 BC. The portico is adorned with six draped female figures (caryatids) which act as pillar supports. Five of the original caryatids are now in the Athens Acropolis Museum and the sixth is in the British Museum.

I've added a couple of textures from Shadowhouse Creations.
