Noble Bronze Sculpture Lady Justice
Lady Justice Bronze Sculpture, After Virtus, 20"H x 8"D x 7"W 18 lbs. This bronze sculpture was produced using the "Lost Wax" casting method. The"Lost Wax" Cast method is the most precise metal casting technique in existence, ensuring exquisite detail of the original host model which is usually sculpted in clay or wax. This "Lost Wax" casting method is an extremely labor intensive and expensive process, but the end results produce a Heirloom Quality Masterpiece!Lady Justice holding her scales and sword is a familiar icon of Law. Many images of her also include a blindfold.Goddess or lady, statues and paintings represent the spirit of Justice as a woman with the scales of justice in one hand and a sword in the other. She is often wearing a blindfold, to show her impartiality. The image probably has roots in the Greek goddess Themis and the Roman goddess Justia. Lady Justice paintings and statues are common in the Western legal world. Often - as in the state flag of Virginia and in the Department of Justice statue - she has one breast partly or completely exposed.But the image of this Goddess of Justice, left, bears no bindfold. Is this to remind us perhaps that justice is not blind at all?
