- Title: Lady Justice
- Artist: logans beta
-
Description:
She is the symbol that we see everywhere.
~
for the Ancient Greeks, she was called Themis, for the Ancient Romans, she was Justitia.
but for everyone now, she is just simply Lady Justice.
~
Statues of her adorn many places of government, like courts & state houses, & even some public libraries.
~
the scales that she has, come from The Book of the Dead. The blindfold: self-explanatory, The blade: symbol of the punishment that will happen if found guilty.

- the reason that She wears a blindfold, is not to (turn a blind eye) towards justice, but it's a symbol, that means that she has to be impartial towards the accused. (even tho' the justice system doesn't abide by it all the time)
