Introduction to the goddess form: The Statue of Liberty wears ancient Greek-style clothing (also known as ancient Roman robes) and a radiant crown. The seven pointed rays symbolize the seven continents of the world. The Statue of Liberty has a waist width of 10.6 meters and a mouth width of 91 centimeters. Her right hand holds a torch symbolizing freedom, which is 12.8 meters long. 12 people can stand on the edge of the torch. The left hand holds a legal book with "July 4, 1776" engraved on the cover, symbolizing the Declaration of Independence signed on this day. Underfoot are broken handcuffs, shackles and chains, symbolizing freedom from tyranny.
