Shaft and feather, staff of peace, Weapons of war state the case. All behind the first among Four corners bearing only one. Temple's crown: Relating to Masonic conspiracy theory? Shaft and feather: Arrow? Metaphorical or literal? Four corners: Southwest U.S.? A random guess: Forcing Native Americans onto reservations.

0 Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 some funeral procession of a State dignitory, perhaps president of US. Four corners bearing only one => Carried on in coffin by four people perhaps, Weapons of war state the case => gun salute to the dead That was all i could think of...perhaps i am reading too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shakeepuddn Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 On the reverse side of the U.S. dollar bill can be seen an unfinished pyramid (stone) and the U.S. seal, which incorporates a coat of arms (shield) on an eagle, these symbols on both sides of the word "ONE." Above the pyramid is the eye of providence (God's will). The eagle is clutching 13 arrow shafts in one tallon and 13 olive branches for peace in the other, all representing original states. On the obverse side is good ol' George (the first) surrounded by the number one in each of the four corners.Dollar bill thanks to Ventum with the "national seal" guess Good work. Fell quickly as I suspected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
