AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Secret Masonic Gaming Chest:
The lot includes black poker cards stamped in gold leaf, five walnut wood dice carved by hand.
The mystery-wrapped Game Chest is carved from premium solid walnut wood and enriched with refined polished brass inlays and restored. On the lid stand out brass inserts engraved depicting the cards and the dice.

Inside this secret chest, on the hidden inner side of the lid, lies an imposing Masonic symbol of the triangle with the compass, deftly worked in brass. The inner space is carefully designed to accommodate two decks of black cards in gold and silver leaf.

Masonic Symbolism:
1. The Triangle and the Compass:
Depicted on the inner side of the lid, this symbol represents the pursuit of balance between spirit and matter, a core value of the Masonic tradition.

2. The Cards and the Memento Mori:
The cards, black and laminated in gold leaf, feature a design depicting a skeleton with a skull. This symbol represents the "memento mori", a Masonic reminder of the brevity of life and the importance of living with wisdom and awareness of one’s own time.

Condition of the piece:
We proudly guarantee that the piece is in perfect condition, carefully preserved and with some light signs of time that enhance its unique charm. The solid walnut wood and the polished brass inlays testify to the quality and elegance of this extraordinary artisanal work. The cards are fully complete and never used.

Dimensions:
Length: 18 cm
Height: 4 cm
Width: 13 cm
