What Do You Think About This Statue of Justice?

I just bought this statue. It is made of ceramic/porcelain.

Themis is the Greek goddess of justice. In this depiction, she is holding the scales to show equal distribution of justice without corruption. Her sword represents power, and she is blindfolded to show execution of justice without favor.

I bought it because I thought it would remind me about my path; I am planning on entering law enforcement in American government.

I admire you for your choice of career in enforcement of criminal justice.

I know a lot of lawyers who have statues of justice that are similar to the lines of what you purchased. However, not all justice is blind. I saw a statue of "Justice" in London [Old Bailey] that was not blindfolded.

Picture of the statue of justice [link below] on top of the Old Bailey. The Old Bailey, this is the probably the most famous criminal court in the world, and has been London's principal criminal court for centuries. On the dome above the court is to be found the statue of Lady Justice, a woman holding in her right hand a sword standing for the power to punish, and in her left hand a balance standing for equity.
