Nike of Paionios
The Nike of Paionios is an ancient Greek statue of the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, made by the sculptor Paeonius of Mende between 425 BC and 420 BC to stand at the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. It is made of Parian marble. Found in pieces, the statue was restored from many fragments but is lacking a face, wings, forearms, neck, toes, fragments of the drapery, and parts of the left leg. The goddess is shown landing gently on her left foot, with the drapery blowing against her body.
