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.
