COMPLETE WMF JUSTICE INKSTAND w/BLOTTER, TABLE BELL & INKWELL
Themis Greek Goddess of Justice
A common representation of Justice is a blind-folded woman holding a set of  scales and was often depicted carrying a sword  to symbolize truth and justice.  Themis was the Titan goddess of divine law and order - the traditional rules of conduct first established by the Greek gods. She was also a prophetic goddess who presided over the most ancient of the earthly oracles, including the shrine of Delphi. In this role, she was the divine voice who first instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the precepts of piety, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of assembly, and pious offerings to the gods. In Greek, the word themis meant divine law, rules established by custom and tradition.
