Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nabatean, c. 100 AD

This statue comes from Khirbet Tannur. A standing figure of winged Victory (Nike) holds up a bust of Atargatis, crowned as Tyche ("Fortune") and encircled by the signs of the zodiac.

The statue is divided into two pieces: the standing Nike, kept in the Amman Museum, and the bust of Tyche with zodiac, belonging to the Cincinnati Art Museum. The two pieces were reunited for a traveling exhibit, Petra: Lost City of Stone. The sculpture seen here is a copy, that is being kept in the Amman museum while the reunited statue travels (2005).
