Description |
A vellum certificate that had been folded, printed in red ink that is faded somewhat to orange. On the left side of the form is printed a scene under an arch with a keystone with three men in robes above an underground chamber holding an ark that has light shining upon it. On the lower left side of the lettering of the form is a red silk ribbon woven into the vellum above a coated paper seal that is impressed with the seal of Hope Chapter, with some symbols legible, others illegible. At the top of the form is a symbol of a shield divided into quadrants with a figure in each corner. On either side of the shield, and holding it by the upper corners is a crouching seraphin. The form is filled out in black ink, some of which has faded to brown. |
