Re: The figure of justice

Now my question:

Is the Themis/Justitia/Dike really blind or blindfolded?

In London they say that the statue on top of the Old Bailey
is not blindfolded, the idea being that she needs all of her
faculties to be able to render justice. (Try as I might, I
can't find a good close-up photo to confirm this....)

Just curious.....
