Marble Acroterion from the archaic Temple of Apollo. It represents a winged Nike (Victory) in an iconographic convention suggesting that the figure is running. This rendering of movement, along with the smile and stepped folds of the himation are typical of archaic sculpture. The left eye retains a painted image of the iris suggesting that the entire statue would have been painted. 515 - 510 BC. Delphi Archaeological Museum. | |
