Themis - stately, dignified woman, clothed in the mantle. In her left hand she holds a pair of scales, in the right - edged sword. Her eyes closed the blindfold.

Libra is an ancient symbol of action and justice. On the scales of justice are weighted good and evil, guilt and innocence. The rigor and fairness of justice presuppose and accurate weighing of deeds. In the ancient mythology the Lord of the underworld weighed the good and the evil acts of men, and their posthumous fate depended on which the bowl fills up first. The scales are in the left hand of the goddess - left side of the body is perceiving.

The sword is a symbol of spiritual power, of redemption; in the hands of Themis is a symbol of retribution. The sword is held with the edge up, which points to the "will of heaven", the higher justice, as well as on the readiness of its application. The sword of the goddess - a two-edged sword, because the law is not only punitive but also warns. Holding his hand is right: this side of the operation, a symbol of strength, the right cause.

Mantle - ceremonial, ritual robes, intended to commit therein a ceremony of the action, in this case justice. Dressing up is intended to provide spiritual transition in the corresponding ritual status. The garment must fit the nature of the action, so it is important for the judge to don the mantle, leaving civilian dress for worldly Affairs.

The blindfolded goddess symbolizes impartiality. The judge looks to the litigants themselves, their property and social distinction, but only listens to the facts and the truth, vyslushala both sides. Justice does not distinguish between people, it is blind in the sense that only pays on the right.
