Ex Kevin Foster Collection.
The Masonic globe and cross is an intricate design. In its closed position it looks very much like a "ballot ball" that one would use during Masonic voting, however, by an ingenious arrangement of hinges, which are imperceptible from the exterior, it may be opened out into the form of a cross. Each section is pyramidical in shape with a spherical base. The base is gold, but the pyramids are silver, the emblems being engraved into the faces.
