What is the correct interpretation of the balance scale of justice?

When the scale is depicted, it is almost always held by a blindfolded figure, usually female. The idea is not so much about the scale as it is about the figure holding it. Justice is, or should be, blind. The scales will rise or fall according to evidence alone, and will not be influenced by the one holding it.
