Description
This replica cast in bronze is of the Winged Nike of Samothrace, one of the most important and beautiful surviving masterpieces of antiquity. In Greek mythology, Nike, also known as the Winged Goddess of Victory, bestowed triumph, both in war and in the contest. As a war goddess, she was often represented standing alongside Zeus, Athena, and Ares. As goddess of contests, she typically is portrayed adorning the winner with a victor wreath and - or sash. The statue of Nike is one of the greatest surviving sculpture masterpieces of the Hellenistic period, even though it is significantly damaged; most significantly missing its head and outstretched arms. The goddess was cast to the original likeness using the lost wax method and stained with a brown patina finish and She eternally stands upon a marble base. Dimensions: Height 12 X Width 5 inches.
