Victorian Masonic Orb Fob Pendant

$1,150.00

Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1890

Cool antique masonic orb pendant, circa 1890. These unusual pieces would have been used as a nondescript pocket watch fob, hiding the masonic symbolism from sight (however another mason would presumably instantly recognise what it was). The orb opens to reveal six pyramids arranged as a cross, each face hand-carved (by its original owner) with a different masonic symbol: square and compass, crescent moon, five and six pointed stars, skull, envelope, brick wall, a cube, the Eye of Provenance, the sun, etc. Don't ask me what they all mean... It's crafted in 9k gold with silver innards.
