Verity is a stainless steel and bronze statue created by Damien Hirst. The 67-foot (20 m) tall sculpture stands on the pier in Ilfracombe Devon and looks out over the harbour. It has been loaned to the town for 20 years. The name of the piece refers to truth and Hirst describes his work as a modern allegory of truth and justice.The statue depicts a pregnant woman holding aloft a sword while carrying the scales of justice and standing on a pile of law books.
