Greek Gold Figure of Nike from a Monumental Funerary Wreath. South Italian, 4th century B.C. Formed as a composite figurine comprising: hollow-formed nude female figure with left arm extended to her side and fingers curled inwards, right hand at her side, hair drawn up in a chignon surmounted by an applied beaded-wire diadem; two sub-triangular wings each attached to the shoulder blades, with repoussé feather detailing to the obverse; broad D-shaped panel attached to the waist and rear of the legs, with radiating arch detailing; supplied with a custom-made display stand. See a similar gold wreath from Armento (South Italy) surmounted by a similar winged Nike, today at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek, München, NI 2335 WAF, in Knauß, F.S., ‘Anton Prokesh von Osten und Ludwig I. von Bayern,’ in Knauss, F. (ed.), Anton Prokesch von Osten. Sammler, Gelehrter und Vermittler zwischen den Kulturen, Graz, 2019, pp.26-38, fig.6. 56 grams total, 92 mm including stand (3 5/8 in.). Similar statuettes were surmounting huge funerary wreaths, like the one from Armento (325-300 B.C. made in Southern Italy). The wreaths, composed of golden flowers, leaves, fruits, bees and Erotes, have a winged goddess, with all probability Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, as the central motif. It is possible that the wreath was given to the deceased as a prize after a successful competition, but the dimensions of the Nike show that it was an extremely rare artefact. These costly objects were financed by rich and powerful Mecenates, like Kreithonios, named in the inscription on the base of Nike from Armento. Focquaert collection, Belgium, 1970s. European private collection. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D'Amato.
