Miss Freedom

A mysterious statue, weighing about a ton, adorns the top of
the Georgia State Capitol.
Given the name "Miss Freedom," she holds a torch in her right hand in
remembrance of Georgia's war dead.
In her other hand she holds a sword, symbolic of military protection of the
state.
Miss Freedom was commissioned to be made in 1884, but she wasn't placed on top
of the Capitol until 1889.
