What is depicted on the bronze main doors of the US Supreme Court Building?

The main inscription on the front architrave (well above the main doors) is: "Equal Justice Under Law."
There is no other inscription directly over the bronze exterior doors. The bronze exterior doors do contain reliefs (drawings) of:
- Shield of Achilles
- Praetor's Edict
- Julian and Scholar
- Justinian Code
- Magna Carta
- Westminister Statute
- Coke and James I
- Marshal and Story
The "Tablets" that are supposed to represent the 10 commandments actually represent the first 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution, not any biblical reference (See symbols of law link below).
