"The Egyptians honored Maat, the daughter of the sun god, Ra. She also carried a sword but without a scale of justice.
"Justitia, a Roman goddess of justice, wore a blindfold. She had been depicted with sword and scales, but was not always so.
"Representations of the Lady of Justice in the Western tradition occur in many places and at many times. She sometimes wears a blindfold, more so in Europe, but more often she appears without one. She usually carries a sword and scales. Almost always draped in flowing robes, mature but not old, no longer commonly known as Themis, she symbolizes the fair and equal administration of the law, without corruption, avarice, prejudice, or favor.
