Scimitar & crescent moon pin/tie tack |
Description |
Zuhrah Shriner's scimitar & crescent moon pin/tie tack. Belonged to Frank J. Zila. Like the emblem on the front of a fez, the crescent and scimitar, is an important part of the fraternity's theme, and is representative of the characteristics embodied by the Shriners. The scimitar stands for the backbone of the fraternity, its members. The two claws are for the Shriners fraternity and its philanthropy. |
