105.FA.11 Nike Samothrace

This is a 3D model of an ancient marble statue in the Louvre Museum, Paris (catalog #Ma2369). The Nike of Samothrace is an example of Greek Hellenistic sculpture, and has been dated to c. 190 BCE. Its name derives from the location where it was discovered, the Island of Samothrace. Nike is sometimes shown perched atop a ship's peak, and sometimes not, like this model.
