Description
A framed Masonic symbol of a square and compasses with the letter "G" embossed on white cotton fabric represents the organization's roots. The square and compasses are common tools of the Freemasons. The “G” at its center remains subject to dispute; some experts believe the “G” represents geometry, the basis for stonemasonry, while others believe it represents God, the “Grand Architect of the Universe.”
