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.
