325 - Rare ritualistic Masonic altar, Italy, 20th century Carved marble. Dimensions: 56 x 52 x H 105 cm. Impressive Masonic altar made entirely of finely carved white marble. The composition features two intertwined serpents surrounding a skull, accompanied by a symbolic ensemble featuring the Eye of Providence carved in relief. In the center is a key and a vertical column, which acts as the support and main axis of the piece. The base, supported by classical-style columns, reinforces the solemnity and ritual significance of the altar. This piece, of extraordinary presence and symbolic meaning, has been used in Masonic rituals, as evidenced by both its iconography and structure. The marble, worked with great precision, highlights the esoteric and allegorical elements, making the altar a unique object, representative of Italian Freemasonry of the early 20th century. Located in international warehouse.
