This bronze repousse relief was probably originally from a mirror cover, depicting the goddess Nike sacrificing a bull. Bulls were common sacrificial animals in ancient Greece. Here, the sacrifice of a bull by Nike, the personification of Victory, may refer to a victory gained in an athletic contest or in battle.   The scene also decorated the Temple of Athena Nike at Athens.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
