Victorian Goldfill Chalcedony Masonic Keystone Fob

antique. c 1860s

Chalcedony keystone tablet carved with Masonic acronym "HTWSSTKS" in the round, standing for "Hiram, Tyrian, Widow's Son, Sent to King Solomon" I've also seen it written "Hiram The Widow's Son" and "Hiram of Tyre, Widow's Son". After a Biblical verse with significance in Masonic lore. The reverse is unmarked. Suspended in a goldfill frame with decorative openwork top mount. Offered on a modern 18" goldfill rolo chain with spring ring clasp. 

1 1/4" length including bale, 3/4" width

very good condition. Losses to the original white enameling on the carved letters, as seen.
