Every Shrine potentate gets a year to lead his temple, and this gold-tone sphinx marks one of them: 1987, when M. Lloyd Wright served as Illustrious Potentate of the Abou Ben Adhem Shrine in Springfield, Missouri. The sphinx has long been a symbol of the Shriners, and commemorative desk pieces like this are sought by Shriner and Masonic collectors. It would sit well on a desk, a shelf or in a lodge display.
