Title: Odd Fellows Carved Wood Sign, Three-Linked Chain, Eye of Providence
Date/Period: Late 19th Century - SOLD


Odd Fellows Carved Wood Sign, Three-Linked Chain, Eye of Providence, entire view

Measurement: 30" x 18" x .2.5"

Material: White pine

Condition: Traces of paint, dry patina

Additional Information: Chain with three links has a complicated meaning regarding
good and harm; often Friendship, Love and Truth [The Three Link Fraternity] in this
case, above the All-Seeing Eye. The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is
a symbol, having its origin in Christian iconography, representing the eye of God
watching over humanity. This example appears to be a well weathered rural artifact.
