French Indo China - 20 Centimes 1938

Marianne seated left with fasces, date in exergue, [Numista.com] rice stalks in the background. I'm not sure of the Marianne identification, would that mean the Statue of Liberty in NY harbor is Marianne and not Lady Liberty? Marianne sows wheat and not rice, I'm I right?
