"Lady Justice (Latin: Justitia, the Roman goddess of Justice, who is equivalent to the Greek goddess Dike) is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems." (from Wikipedia).
The statue is located in front of the town hall of Zofingen. It was placed there in 1994, Until 1893 the statue was atop the fountain column on the nearby square, then it was replaced with a statue of Niklaus Thut, I could not find out where it was in the years between.
Other than most representations of Lady Justice, this statue has the eyes closed but does not wear a blindfold.
