| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, depicted in three-quarter facing view striding to the right, her large outstretched wings spread prominently behind her. She wears a flowing chiton that billows around her legs, and her right arm is raised forward. The ethnic inscription F-A (digamma-alpha, abbreviation for FALEIOI or the sanctuary at Elis/Olympia) appears in the left and right fields respectively. The figure is rendered in the dynamic Early Classical style, with fine drapery folds and careful anatomical detail, set within a broad, irregularly shaped hammered flan. |
