Victorian Masonic Orb Pendant memorial possibly for a safety chainDATE: Victoria, c. 1890 A cool antique masonic orb pendant, modelled in 15k yellow gold. The frame that holds it all together is individually hinged, and the closing arms are individually hinged opening to reveal six pyramids arranged as a cross, each face hand carved with a different masonic symbol: the Eye of Provenance, a brick wall, a star, a compass and so on. Don't ask me what they all mean Dates from the Victorian period, circa 1890.
