This is a replica of the Nike by Paionios of the 5th century. The Nike of Paionios is an ancient statue of the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, created in 425–420 BC. Crafted from Parian marble, the statue was painstakingly restored from many fragments, although it still lacks a face, neck, forearms, part of left leg, toes and some fragments of drapery. It also featured wings. The goddess is depicted landing softly on her left foot, with the drapery blown against her body.
