The Winged Fame (Pheme in Greek) seen here carrying a fallen soldier upward represents the ability to change the nature of things, changing it from what was neglected into something glorious. Those who value remembrance and those who believe the goddess carries under her wings the key to immortality cherish her. Replicas of this 1872 bronze statue, Gloria Victis, by Antonin Merci were used on monuments in many French towns to honor fallen heroes from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Gloria Victis means Glory to the Defeated. Made from resin, 14.25"H x 10.5"W x 4.5"D.
