The biblical inscription in Latin on the scroll above Justice’s head translates as “Thou shall break them with a rod of iron”. Chained, we see the elegant figure of Luxuria (lust) with her torch symbolising passion; Superbia (pride) is admiring herself in a looking glass; Gula (gluttony) is eating a ham hock whilst drinking; Acedia (sloth) has her hands cut off; Avaritia (greed) slouches under a sack leaking coins; Invidia (jealousy) is depicted as an old lady lying upon red drapery; and finally Ira (rage), is preparing to plunge his dagger into an infant that is raising its arm towards Justitia crying for help.
