Usually referring to some outstanding quality or exceptional situation, allegorical meaning remains hidden.
In Signs and Symbols (1989), Adrian Frutiger writes that the majority of allegorical figures in Western culture are derived from the mythology of ancient Greece and imperial Rome.
An allegorical layer of meaning was inscribed by Andrea Pisano's sculpture on the lower sections of Giotto's campanile, built in fourteenth-century Florence.
The combination of the historical figure with symbolic object produces an abstract statement with a message that is allegorical For example, the winged female form shown here is the generally understood representation of victory and peace, the blindfolded female figure holding a sword in one hand and a pair of scales in the other represents justice, and the Statue of Liberty, carrying a torch for freedom to light the way, extends the hand of friendship to the displaced.
These robed women are not merely symbols that connect the visible and an invisible world, but are an allegorical picture of a real phenomenon.
