Libertas

This diptych, Libertas, was inspired by the quote: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.  Liberty is a well-armed lamb."  
There are other versions of this quote and it has been mis-attributed to Ben Franklin. Not sure who actually "said" it, or the variations.
Nevertheless, this is my version. The handkerchief has written, "Libertas Cibum" latin for "free food".
There are many other "symbols" in this piece. See if you can figure them out.
