Amelung's Athena
A composite restoration emulating the Athena Parthenos by the German scholar Walther Amelung. Created from the Lemnian Athena, the Vienna Head, and the Medici Torso in the Louvre. We know from written descriptions that the shield should be decorated with battle scenes, and that the right hand should hold a Nike figure representing victory, not the dish shown in this cast
