bronze sculpture of the Goddess of Victory

This is a replica of part of the bronze quadriga sculpture which stands on top of the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, London. It is the head of the Angel of Peace who in the actual sculpture is shown standing on a four-horse chariot (quadriga) holding an olive branch.

 

The quadriga sculpture was designed by Adrian Jones and installed on the arch in 1912.

 

This replica of the Angel of Peace's head is on display within the small museum inside the arch. The model for this sculpture was Beatrice Stewart.
