Drawing of Masonic Scottish Rite Consistory regalia for Philip II of France (21st degree). Depicts full-length male figure wearing full suit of white chainmail. The armor is in the form of a long-sleeved tunic that extends to gloves and full leggings over the feet. He wears a long sleeveless robe over the armor in red with blue lining. He wears a gold belt with a red and gold scabbard attached. The armor covers his head and he wears a gold and silver helmet with a plume lightly sketched in above. He stands with one hand on his waist and the other lifted into the air; he holds his sword in that hand. At right is a rectangle showing a detail of the fabric pattern for the robe - red with gold design. Attached to the back is a typewritten piece of paper headed "C. 32. / XXX-2. Philip II of France." This is followed by a description of the various costume elements and a note on their sources.
