the statue of the winged victory of samothrace is headless maybe broken by earthquake or other nature disasters, war, or maybe because the statue were abandoned too long.
the head probably smashed into hundred of pieces and scattered, or steal by someone who found it (if the head still in good condition, not broken, it will be a good news for everyone)
