Statue of Liberty Symbols

The statue's formal name is "Liberty Enlightening the World" has many symbols. The crown contains 25 windows that symbolize gemstones and heaven’s rays shining through to the world. Chains and shackles are at her feet represent America breaking the chains of tyranny and accepting democracy as a form of government. The torch represents enlightenment and the tablet she holds represents a book of law. The seven rays around the head form a halo, showing she is divine and evoke the sun, the seven seas, and the seven continents.

The United States Post Office issued a Statue of Liberty Stamp a few years ago, but used the Las Vegas Liberty by mistake. Of course, the artist sued for copyright infringement.
