Maker: Unknown
Plain gold, set with oval bloodstone. Two women in Classical costume personifying Justice and Liberty. Justice, blindfolded, stands facing towards the right, holding scales and sword, while Liberty, with a spear or sceptre on one arm and the cap of Liberty in her extended hand, sits by a cornucopia and olive branch, symbolising the peace and prosperity which come once freedom secures justice.
