Description from the seller

* Last one for sale from my collection*- cancelled purchase

Double headed Ouroboros Ring/ Ancient Masonic Builders
**References in my other Listing with Illustrations of Masonry- book not included

I would like to share with you one of my private collection Ancient Builders Ring.
Its more as a display ring due to shape....

Where might we see a reference to ouroboros in Masonic Life?
The legend of the Master Builder marks the new beginning of a Brother’s life as a Master Mason and repeats the theme of the ouroborus with the death of the old way and the symbolic life of a new Master Mason. If we consider the universality that our lodge room as a whole represents, we see the planetary revolutions of the sun and moon as viewed here on earth. We see the perpetual and cyclical - day and night. So the ouroboros surrounds the lodge room and the earth in a circular plane that is situated between east and west. Where in the lodge room do all these individual events that involve the candidate take place? Between east and west. Coincidence?


Please note that if you wish your parcel to be sent as a “gift” rather than a “sale” (which may exempt you from additional customs fees), kindly inform me. However, please be aware that this decision is entirely your responsibility.
* All of my objects are from my family’s private, used collection by true Masons.

* Please be advised that parcels may be damaged, delayed, or subject to additional fees due to local courier transportation, customs checks, taxes, and other factors.

* The recipient is solely responsible for paying the customs charges, duties, or taxes applicable to the destination country.

* Parcels will be held by customs until any outstanding payments are made. Failure to make payments may result in the parcel being returned, delayed, or, in certain cases, destroyed. If a parcel is destroyed, no refund will be issued.

* Refused, unpaid, or parcels with incorrect addresses will be returned to me. This process may take up to a month, and the parcel will only be resend to the buyer once the full postage fees have been remitted.
