The bowl is profusely engraved with masonic symbology. `king solomon is seated on the temple steps. the sun and moon the masters of day and night. there are three types of pillars. the three pillars of masonry. The set quare and compas support a bible. a reminder to “stay within bounds”. The tools of the mason are set within a cross-hatched cartouche. We are not aware of the significance of the child within the royal arch. but are advised that this may relate to the “third degree”.
