THE MASTER'S GAVEL |
THE MASTER'S GAVEL
The Master's Gavel, as we know it, helps govern the craft and maintains order in the Lodge. The Lodge of Antiquity #11 is honored with a Master's Gavel that has a significant history.
Gutzon Borglum, the famous American sculptor who planned and began the well-known Mt. Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota, passed on to The Great Architect of the Universe before completing it. His son finished the massive memorial after his father's death.
Gutzon Borglum was a Mason and a member of Howard Lodge #35 of The First Manhattan District in New York City. He was raised on
June 10, 1904. |
Howard Lodge merged with Prince of Orange Lodge, then in April 1983, Howard and Prince of Orange merged with The Lodge of Antiquity #11. They brought with them a Gavel which was
sculptured by Gutzon Borglum.
The Gavel as you see it above is that of a Lions Paw in bronze, clutching a stone. The stone is said to have come from the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. The Masters of the Lodge take great pride in using his Gavel on special occasions.
