where was the bull leaping bronze statue found
Minoan Bull-leaper Arthur Evans, the excavator of Knossos, first published this object in the Journal of Hellenic Studies.[5] Evans dated the bull-leaper to the Late Minoan I period, so that this object dates to approximately 1600 BC.[6]
Winged Victory of Samothrace The statueâ€™s outstretched right wing is a symmetric plaster version of the original left one. The stylistic portrayal of the wings is a source of scholarly discussion, as the feather pattern resembles neither the wings of birds in nature nor wings in Greek art.[9] As with the arms, the figure's head has never been found, but various other fragments have since been found: in 1950, a team led by Karl Lehmann unearthed the missing right hand of the Louvre's Winged Victory. The fingerless hand had slid out of sight under a large rock, near where the statue had originally stood; on the return trip home, Dr Phyllis Williams Lehmann identified the tip of the Goddess's ring finger and her thumb in a storage drawer at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, where the second Winged Victory is displayed; the fragments have been reunited with the hand,[10] which is now in a glass case in the Louvre next to the podium on which the statue stands.
