Crafted using the lost-wax method, the goddess retains her original likeness and is adorned with a brown patina finish. She stands gracefully on a black marble base, bearing the artist Milo's signature. Whether displayed as a symbol of victory, a testament to Greek mythology, or simply as an exquisite work of art, this bronze replica of the Winged Nike of Samothrace serves as a timeless and captivating addition to any art collection or living space.
