Masonic Medal — Lodge Amicitia, Soerabaya

This circular silver medal commemorates the founding of the Masonic Lodge Amicitia in Soerabaya. The design centers on the square and compasses resting upon a set of stairs, framed by two columns labeled J and B, and topped with clasped hands, a star, and a crescent moon. The border is decorated with a series of infinity-like symbols, reinforcing themes of brotherhood and continuity.

As a primary document of 19th-century Freemasonry, this object reflects the continuation of Enlightenment-era fraternal traditions and symbolic geometry, which served as a social and intellectual conduit for Hermetic and occult philosophies in colonial outposts.
