'V' is for 'Victory' or 'Victoire'
The Winged Victory of Samothrace (Nike of Samothrace) is a Greek marble sculpture estimated to have been created around 190 BC, which can be seen in the Louvre Museum, Paris. It was found on the island of Samothrace, in the Aegean Sea, Greece, in 1863 by a French expedition. Nike is the goddess who personified triumph and victory in Greek Mythology.
It's so beautiful. I do wonder about the unseen face as the statue is broken and headless.
