This Lady Justice statue dates back to Roman and Greek times, represented as Themis, the goddess of justice and law. Well known for her clear sightedness, she typically holds a sword in one hand and scales in the other.
During the 16th century, artists started showing the lady blindfolded to show that justice is not subject to influence.
Or, that justice today is indeed blind, meaning that only injustice exists under an oligarchy.
