The victory figures or Nikai are leading the ox to sacrifice, in a composition reminiscent of the balustrade around the temple of Athena Nike on the Athenian Acropolis. One of the female figures is carrying a thymiaterion, an incense burner. The marble relief has been restored in some of its details. The original was acquired in 1584 by Cardinal Ferdinando de’ Medici for his new Villa in Rome
