This bronze relief plaque shows Nike-Nemesis, a goddess combining victory and divine justice. The winged figure stands in a temple-like frame holding a wheel, which represents fate and the turning of fortune. There is also a six-pointed star inside a circle at the bottom left of the relief.
The plaque is shaped like a small shrine with columns and a pointed roof decorated with palmettes. Nike-Nemesis wears flowing robes and her wings spread behind her within the architectural setting.
