Nike of Paionios
Nike, goddess of victory, alighting, but still airborne onto a triangular pedestal.
An accompanying inscription read: “The Messenians and Naupactian dedicated this to Olympian Zeus , a tithe from the spoils of war. Paionios of Mende made this, and was victor to make the akroteria for the temple.”
One of the few contemporaneous statues from the same period as Parthenon outside Athens.
