A ring is attached to a swivel. The small shield on the dexter side represents the ancient arms of Nuremburg as used in the 13th century. The shield on the sinisster side shows the present
arms of the
city. It is suggested that the crest represents theEagle of St. John,

Obverse.—A shield, bearing azure, a sphere, argent; from the sphere, in cross, four pieces of compasses, partly extended, the dexter points touching the sphere, which, I presume, may be the
arms of the Lodge. Crest, a helmet, crowned, surmounted by a demi-eagle displayed nimbed, and holding in his beak a pen. The field is nearly filled with an elaborate mantling. On the outer
side of the shield is a smaller one bearing an eagle displayed, having a virgin’s head and breast, crowned. On the sinister side another small shield, per pale, dexter, an eagle displayed,
dimidiated, sinister beady of six, gules and argent. Near the bottom, very small, “Lauer” on the left and “Ft.” on the right. Legend, on a raised border, separated from the field by an
ornamental circle, above, “Bauhutte zu Nfirnberg” (The Lodge of Nuremburg), and below, “Revirescens” (Renewing its strength).
Reverse.—A scroll partly unrolled extends across the field, and has on it, in two lines, the inscription “KVNST and GAWARK I KROANT unfer WARK I” (Art or Skill and the Guild crown
our Labour). Behind the scroll are the compasses, partly extended, and a square and rule. Legend, on a border slighthy raised, separated from the field by a circle, and divided into three parts
by rosettes
