Description
Tracing boards are used by Freemasons in their lodge meetings as visual aids in their ceremonies, and there is usually a tracing board for each of the three ceremonies. This example is painted and gilded on wood, although they can also be painted or drawn on cloth or paper, or made out of stone. The three columns are the classical orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, which represent the Master, or Ruler, of the lodge and his two deputies, or wardens.
