- A female figure in classical garb stands next to a column. A lion, symbol of strength, lies at her feet. On the wall above the lion's head is a crest. Behind the woman, a statue of a man in colonial garb holds what appears to be an olive branch. Outside the window pieces of a broken statue are strewn on the ground.
