Description |
Apron has no documentation except a type-written card that says, "Apron used to raise Brother Ralph Hankins, Tammany Lodge No. 83, November 16, 1807." The same inscription is found under the apron flap. Apron is hand pained and inked with various Masonic symbols--most prominent is the personification of Hope standing beside her anchor. On the rounded flap is an all-seeing eye flanked by two cherubim holding cloth banners that spell out "Sanctum Sanctorum". |
