Masonic Medal 1826

This silver Masonic medal, created by C. Foote in 1826, features an all-seeing eye surrounded by rays of light within a heart-shaped frame, topped with a Masonic compass and square. The inscription "Rockwood No. De. For. No. 213 Jerusalem Chapter, Bridgeport (Conn.) June 8th 1826" suggests the medal was awarded to a member of a Masonic lodge in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This small but intricately detailed piece provides insight into the symbolism and rituals of Freemasonry in the early 19th century.
