Drawing of Masonic Scottish Rite Consistory regalia for Spirit of Masonry (19th degree). Depicts full-length male figure wearing a long sleeveless purple robe. On the front is a gold emblem of the double-headed eagle. The robe is trimmed along the edges with gold and silver. At his waist is a gold and white belt tied in a knot. Underneath the robe, he wears gold "mail" leggings and long sleeves that extend to gloves. He wears a gold crown with several points on top. He stands with one arm out to the side and the other over his head with a sword in that hand. Attached to the back is a typewritten piece of paper headed "C. 12. / XIX-12. Spirit of Masonry." This is followed by a description of the various costume elements and notes on their sources.
