Every Shrine temple likes to mark its Potentate's year in office with a keepsake, and this one comes from Abou Ben Adhem in Springfield, Missouri, home of the landmark Shrine Mosque downtown. A heavy block of polished black-and-white veined marble carries a gilt medallion with a domed mosque and crescent set against a red, blue and yellow enamel sunburst. It would sit nicely on a desk or a shelf of Shriner and Masonic memorabilia.
