The Faculty Mace
In spring 1826, Johann Steinberger, manufacturer of metalwork in Innsbruck, offered to craft two faculty maces for the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Law at the price of 450 guilders. The figurative design shows King Solomon as the wise judge who decides between two women fighting for a child. The circumscription FACULTAS JVRIDICA is displayed below, while the double-headed imperial eagle is shown on the top.
