Nissel and Sikova were specialist retailers for fine art goods located in the Karntnerstrasse, Vienna in the early 20th century.

Lady Justice is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems. She originated as 'Lustitia' the Goddess of Justice within Roman Mythology, introduced by Emperor Augustus as justice was one of the virtues he celebrated. 

The scales indicate her measuring the strength of the case's support and opposition. Since the 16th century, Lady Justice is often depicted wearing a blindfold, representing impartiality. The sword represented authority in ancient times.
