That was interesting.
Of the myriad examples of that statue, that's the first one I've noticed
with her standing on a serpent and a book.

Sheesh! Talk about complicating the imagery!

Scales, blindfold, double-edged sword, [woman!], and now serpent and book.
Is there *anything* that can't be inferred from that?

Treading on the 'Don't Tread on Me' serpent? Hmph!
