Masonic Royal Mark medal. Roughly diamond-shaped, but with scalloped edges. Loop at top. One side shows the owner's personal mark. There are two crowns at top, followed by two rows of lettering, "Henry Brayman / Davids. R.A. Chapter." Below the lettering, at center, is a circle with a square and awl in the middle. Letters around the circle's border read, "HTWSSTKS." At bottom is an engraved crescent moon with face. The opposite side has lettering forming an arch at top, "Holiness to the Lord," followed by a bishop's mitre. The rest of this side of the medal is a series of eight circles, each engraved with Masonic symbols.
