The Allegory of Justice: The central figure represents the Greek goddess Themis, daughter of Ouranos (God of the Sky) and Gaia (Goddess of the Earth). She symbolizes divine justice and established order. In Greek, 'Themis' means 'divine law.' As Zeus' advisor, she ensures harmony among the gods and has the gift of prophecy.

The Fasces: The fasces symbolize the authority of the magistrate and the respect owed to those who administer justice.

The Scales: The scales represent balance, harmony, and order.

The Blindfold: A fine linen band covering Themis' eyes, representing impartiality, indicating that justice must be rendered objectively, regardless of the power or weakness of the accused
