VICTORY FASTENING HE)R SANDAI, 



This exquisite fragment was one of a number of reliefs representing Victory, forming a 

 balustrade around the Temple of Athena Nike, or Nike Apteros. Even to the unskilled eye, 

 this fragment is a feast of beauty in the marvelous delineation of the curves of the body and 

 the masterly treatment of the draperies. It probably dates from the fourth century B. C. (see 

 text, page 591).
