Masonic symbols

Equipment

Within this three-sided pyramid are the symbols which relate to stonemasonry, the group’s foundation. The items relating to what is known as the ‘second degree’ include a small metal upright ruler, symbolising the virtue of being upright; the right angle, expressing the value of a square deal; and the balance, meaning ‘stay on the straight and narrow’. Values such as these are embedded in the many items within this Temple.
