The figure of Minerva, representing arts, is holding a shield bearing the Gorgon's head and a spear. Three statues were commissioned by Sebastian de Ferranti, a former Vice President of the RSA, to be installed on the pediment of the house as originally proposed by Robert Adam, the architect. The figures were made by Plowden and Smith.
