Shrine
of North America
Potentate's
Scepter
This
Shrine of North America Scepter was apart of the ceremonial dress that the
Temple Potentate wore when conferring a degree on a new candidate! This
scepter is 31 inches long and made of brass. (It was probably gold
plated at one time.) It pictures a pyramid at the top supported by
crescent moons and a jeweled base. The picture below shows a Potentate
from LuLu Shrine Temple holding a similar scepter.
