JUSTITIA

 

Sculpture by Jens Galschiot at the Courthouse of Odense, Denmark

 

 

Justitia, the goddess of justice, grows out of the wall

with sword and scales and watches over the trial. As

she is clad in fishing net a connection is made to Kraka,

a beautiful and wise woman of Norse mythology.

The scales in balance symbolises a just sentence. The

sword is a symbol of the execution. The blindfold may

seem odd, but since the 16th century it is seen as a

symbol of impartiality.
