Lady Justice

Honoured symbol of justice in the west is the Lady of Justice (adapted from Greek and Roman mythology) depicted as a blind folded woman with a scale in one hand and a sword in the other.

This stands for equality in the dispensation of justice without favour or prejudice.

She is the roman goddess of justice, the personification of justice balancing the scales of the truth and fairness dates back to ancient Egypt and the goddess Maat and later Isis.
