Athena Nike Temple. Parapet. North slab VI. Nikai

Summary edit

Description
English: Athena Nike Temple. Parapet. North slab VI. Nikai, Ακρ. 994, The "B Master", Around 410 BC.

Slab fragments from the north side of the parapet that was constructed around the Temple of Athena Nike. They were found at different times and locations on the Acropolis.

Two winged Nikai adorn a trophy. The Nike to the viewer’s left is dressed in a long girded chiton with belts crossing over her chest. Standing on her tiptoes and with her left arm behind the trophy, she tries to reach its top and hang there a Corinthian-type helmet. In her lost today right hand she must have held the hammer with which she would have nailed the helmet. Her head is preserved only as a plaster cast as the original was lost during modern times. The Nike on the right approaches the trophy stepping with her right foot on a rock. On her thigh is an indiscernible object which she touches with the right hand.
