Life sized Blind/Lady Justice, bronze, with marble base Purchased from shop in The Peabody, Memphis Tenn about 15 years ago.
5'8" tall with a 25 inch base
Hello, this item is a life-size contemporary bronze figure of Lady Justice, also known as Blind Justice, mounted on a circular marble base and measuring approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a 25-inch base. The figure follows the standard Western legal iconography of Justice as a blindfolded woman holding scales and a sword, standing above books and a serpent, symbols of law, judgment, wisdom, and conquered deceit. The two-tone patinated bronze finish, decorative bodice, polished highlights, and large scale indicate a late 20th to early 21st century decorative or institutional sculpture rather than an antique 19th-century cast.
The sculpture has strong decorative and commercial appeal because of its scale and recognizable legal subject, especially for law offices, courthouses, private libraries, hotels, and collectors of symbolic bronze statuary. The market is driven more by size, material, condition, and visual impact than by named authorship, since no artist signature or foundry mark is visible in the photographs. Comparable large modern bronze Lady Justice sculptures tend to sell below fine art bronze works by listed sculptors but above ordinary garden statuary due to their height and subject. Fair market value is $3,000 to $6,000 USD.
