SYMBOLISM AND MEANING
At the heart of this piece lies a profound narrative. It incorporates:
-
Square and Compass – The foundational tools of the Craft.
-
Lewis – A symbol of strength and Masonic lineage.
-
Gavel – Representing authority and moral discipline.
-
Skull and Crossbones – A memento mori, reminding us of mortality and virtue.
-
Acacia Leaves – The eternal symbol of resurrection and purity.
-
Hiram Abiff – The central figure of Masonic legend, the "Widow’s Son," master builder of Solomon’s Temple and martyr to fidelity.
As told in Masonic lore, Hiram Abiff is not introduced until the third degree—yet he stands as a pillar of the Master Mason ritual. First mentioned in sacred scripture (1 Kings 7:13–14), Hiram was a skilled artisan filled with wisdom and cunning in brass. His story of loyalty unto death reflects the most solemn virtues of the Fraternity.
Widows Sons. Hiram Abiff. The Temple. The Knock.
Let the legacy live at your door.
