Masonic Square and Compasses Symbol - Meaning and History #1478713 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the classic Masonic symbol: a square and compasses intersecting to form a diamond shape, with the letter “G” centered within. The square represents morality and fairness, the compasses signify spiritual boundaries and self-restraint, while the “G” traditionally stands for both Geometry-the foundational science of Freemasonry-and God, the Great Architect of the Universe. The design is rendered with precise linework, emphasizing its symbolic clarity and historical continuity.
