Antique Edwardian 9ct gold and enamel Masonic jewel brooch, Spender & Co

A rare and excellent antique Edwardian Masonic jewel brooch with marks for Birmingham, 1910,  Spencer & Co. featuring a Star of David, a square and compass motif as well as a hand-painted scene in porcelain depicting a lodge.
