Note du spécialiste
The heart in hand is a symbol of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It represents the Order’s values of love and charity. Carvings similar to this example are often found mounted on staffs that a Conductor would use to lead ceremonies and tours of a lodge. For a related example see American Folk Art Museum, accession number 2015.1.139.
