Nike of Callimachus, Marble statue at Acropolis of Athens, Greece
The Nike of Callimachus stands 468 centimeters tall and features a winged woman figure positioned on an inscribed Ionic column at the Acropolis Museum.
Created in 490 BCE to honor Callimachus, the Athenian polemarch who cast the deciding vote and died during the Battle of Marathon against Persian forces.
The statue incorporates continuous drapery techniques and metal jewelry attachments, demonstrating the sophisticated sculptural methods of ancient Greek artisans during the Archaic period.
Visitors can examine the restored monument, which includes fragments discovered over time, in the Archaic Acropolis Gallery of the Acropolis Museum.
The neck section contains nine preserved holes that originally held metal ornaments, while certain parts of the statue, including the head and hands, remain missing.
