Its combination of highly detailed drapery and smooth flat areas evokes an image of Grecian relief sculpture - and perhaps of ruins pieced back together. The image is of a strong, mature female figure, described by her sumptuous robes. Her face, feet and arms are devoid of detail, indicating no specific age, race or religion. The Victorian Southern Cross is at her side making her a symbol of fairness and equality in this state.
