The 2021 Capitol Commemorative Ornament replicates the design carved in limestone above the bench of Nebraska’s Supreme Court. This design includes a bison head, symbol of the prairie, three law books, the helmet and shield symbolizing the protection the law provides, and the Roman fasces signifying the power of the law. The balanced scale of justice represents Nebraska’s state motto in the ribbon at the bottom intertwined with Goldenrod, the state flower. The version in the court is the only one in color and includes heraldic ribbons.
