Statue of the Goddess Liberty

This the State of Liberty with Phrygian Cap as she appears on the flags of New Jersey and New York.

She is holding the more ancient version of the Liberty Pole. Some people have said it looks like a mushroom on a pole, or that it was supposed to represent a certain type of mushroom.

Another story relates it to slaves becoming free in ancient Rome, as a status symbol to show people they are slaves no more.

Nonetheless, this is a fanciful recreation of the the Goddess Liberty as found on two state flags, which you can see below.
