Statue of Liberty's feet and broken chains

Freedom is not standing still.  A symbolic feature that people cannot see is the broken chain wrapped around the Statue's feet.  Protruding from the bottom of her robe, the broken chains symbolize her free forward movement, enlightening the world with her torch free from oppression and servitude.
