These figures in relief are from a balustrade, or railing, that enclosed a small temple to Athena Nike, the conquering Athena, on a jutting spur of the Acropolis. Nike is represented many times performing many fears. Here she gracefully fastens a loosened sandal and hangs a trophy. These reliefs are from the outer surface of the balustrade and the originals are in the Acropolis Museum, Athens.
