Rare Antique Masonic Timber Setting Maul Circa Late 18th Early 19th Century
Stamped MAUL in 2 places on the top of the mallet head where the handle is inserted. Evidence of a significant amount of use and fabulous old accumulated patina.

Mauls had a practical use in setting stones in their proper position, but as freemasonry traces its origins to stonemasons these were also symbols of authority and power exercised by the Master Mason and thus served a ritual function.
