She is dressed in armor covered with a draped toga and a collar with medallions representing the institutions promoted by the Republic (Agriculture, Commerce, Fine Arts, Education, Justice, Sciences, Navy and Industry). On the base, the initials RF frame the lictor beams (Executive Power) and a balance (Justice).
