In een schepenzaal of vierschaar spraken de schepenen (lokale bestuurders) recht. Vaak was dit een ruimte in het plaatselijke raadhuis. Het belangrijkste interieuronderdeel in zo\u2019n ruimte was de schepenbank, waar de schepenen zaten tijdens rechtszittingen. De schepenbank werd gezien als een belangrijk symbool van de rechtspraak en was om die reden vaak rijk versierd. Beeldhouwwerken en soms ook schilderijen verwezen naar gerechtigheid en rechtspraak. Vooral de figuur van Vrouwe Justitia, symbool van de Gerechtigheid, en haar attributen (blinddoek, weegschaal en zwaard) komen veelvuldig terug.<\/p>\n<p>In deze gebeeldhouwde arm met gebalde vuist, de Manus Justitiae (Latijn voor \u2018hand van gerechtigheid\u2019) zat oorspronkelijk een Roede van Justitie. De arm met roede was eveneens een symbool van rechtspraak en gerechtigheid.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_font=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;571711&#8243;]Specificaties[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;909287&#8243;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vervaardiger: onbekend<\/li>\n<li>Datering: ca. 1630-1680<\/li>\n<li>Objectnummer: 214<\/li>\n<li>Materialen: eikenhout, ijzer<\/li>\n<li>Afmetingen: 42 bij 13 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;354896&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;80&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-623990&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1154,"parent":1175,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"collectie-categorie":[40],"class_list":["post-1242","collectie","type-collectie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","collectie-categorie-topstukken"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
