Caryatid in a sentence as a noun

He removed 1 of the 6 caryatids from the Erechtheion, for example; the 5 that remained in Greece are still extant.

The caryatids are currently arranged as a set of six, but with one spot empty, and the frieze is laid out as a full-sized display of the entire frieze, with the pieces that the museum possesses inserted into their correct place, and plaster casts used as placeholders for the missing parts.
