This macabre model of a skull comes equipped with an accompanying book and flickering candle to enhance its unsettling ambiance. The scene itself was carefully patterned after the philosophical teachings of Freemasonry, with a particular focus on the somber Chamber of Reflection. Found within various esoteric traditions such as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and French Rite, Co-Masonry and similar jurisdictions, the Chamber of Reflection serves as a dimly lit room adjacent to the Lodge area where aspiring Masons may sit in solitude for introspection before being initiated into their mysterious fraternity. Although its contents can vary widely depending on local custom, one might discover here an assortment of symbolic items like skulls, scythes, hourglasses filled with dripping water, plain bread and humble cups, piles of sulfurous dust, grains of salt, bronze cockerels adorned with Mercury's attributes or a dimly burning lantern casting eerie shadows. Alternatively, cryptic letters etched into stone might spell out the arcane acronym V.I.T.R.I.O.L. Inscribed on walls elsewhere may be enigmatic quotes or mystical texts penned by secretive hands that have mastered the mystical art of symbolic expression.
