Allegory of Victory

Master of Coriolanus

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a rectangular plaque featuring four human figures in relief. The figures are part of a procession, moving from left to right. The first three figures are male, with the leftmost two wearing short skirts and having bare chests, while the third plays a musical horn. The figure on the far right is female, dressed in flowing garments and holding a long, curved object. The sculpture is made from a metal material, giving it a brownish color with some areas appearing lighter. The surface of the plaque is flat, allowing the figures to emerge slightly from the background, providing an intricate level of detail visible in the folds of the clothing and the subtle expressions on the faces.
