Nike of Samothrace is the name given to a Greek sculpture,
which represents Nike, the goddess of victory, and is now a showpiece in the Louvre in Paris.
It was found in the Kabir sanctuary on the Greek island of Samothrace. It is believed that Rhodian sculptors created the statue in white marble from the island of Paros.

The statue was probably used as a tribute to the victory over Antiochos III of Syria. That's why she stands on the bow of a ship like a figurehead. The whole statue is 328 cm high, whereby the figure itself is 245 cm tall.
