Justitia - Lady Justice - Statue - $49.99

Lady Justice (Justitia, the Roman Goddess of Justice and sometimes simply 'Justice') is a personification of the moral force underlying legal systems. Since the Renaissance, she has frequently been depicted as a matron carrying a sword, measuring balances, and sometimes blindfolded. Her modern iconography, frequently adoring courthouses and courtrooms, combines the attributes of several goddesses who embodied Right Rule for Greeks and Romans, blending Roman blindfolded Fortuna (luck) with Hellenistic Greek Tyche (fate), and sword-carrying Nemesis (vengence).

Lady Justice is often depicted wearing a blindfold. This is done in order to indicate that justice is (or should be) meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of the identity, power, or weakness (blind justice and blind impartiality). The earliest Roman coins depicted Justitia with the sword on one hand and the scale on the other, but with her eyes uncovered. Justitia was only commonly represented as 'blind' since about the end of the fifteenth century. The first known representation of blind Justice is Hans Gieng's 1543 statue on the Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen (Fountain of Justice) in Berne.

Cold Cast is a modern method of casting sculptures using a mixture of resin and powdered polymer materials. The finished sculpture has a surface which looks very similar to traditionally cast material, but tends to be much lighter.
