Scott, "taken as a whole, is perhaps one of the most laborious works of sculpture ever undertaken, consisting, as it does, of a continuous range of figure-sculpture of the most elaborate description, in the highest alto-relievo of life-size, of more than 200 feet in length, containing about 170 figures, and executed in the hardest marble which could be procured."
«Este friso —decía Scott— es quizá una de las obras escultóricas más laboriosas que jamás se hayan emprendido. Consta de una serie continua de ciento setenta figuras, esculpidas con el más primoroso detalle en altorrelieve muy pronunciado y de tamaño natural; la serie tiene más de doscientos pies de longitud, y está hecha del mármol más duro que se pudo obtener».
