Allegory of Justice is a sculpture created by Rodolfo Nolli occupying the tympanum of the Old Supreme Court Building, Singapore. The building was constructed between 1937 and 1939. The central figure represents Justice; to the left is a person begging for mercy or protection; and next to him are legislators with books in hand, representing the Law. On the right side of Justice is a figure showing gratitude, then a man and a bull, and two children holding a sheaf of wheat. These represent wealth, prosperity and abundance that occur where law and justice prevail.
