Winged Victory of Samothrace Figure

Placed on a pedestal at the top of a staircase in the Louvre, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a masterpiece of Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic era (320-30 BCE), is one of the most spectacular works of art of the ancient world and revered all over the globe. Including Japan, which, even though it has very different aesthetic standards, is always sensitive to beauty and craftsmanship. Sensitive enough for a Japanese company to have created its own Winged Victory of Samothrace Figure using the format popularized by manga and anime figures!

At about 155 mm (6.1"), the Winged Victory of Samothrace Figure is much smaller than the imposing 2.75 m (9 ft) marble original but the work that has been done to replicate the Victory's pleats and wings is nothing short of extraordinary. From any angle you look it, this figure evokes a tunic flowing in the wind. But beyond that, this figure of Nike comes with nine joints, allowing you to position it in even more dynamic poses. Especially if combined with the included transparent stand, you can really make it look like Victory is flying!
