This official 1994 commemorative ornament was issued by the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in partnership with Historic Mount Vernon. It commemorates the historic 1793 ceremony in which George Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol, conducted using full Masonic rites.

The front features a detailed historical illustration set within an ornate gold-tone filigree frame. The reverse is engraved with the official 1994 inscription confirming its commemorative origin. This piece was produced as a museum-quality souvenir, not a mass-market holiday ornament.

Well suited for collectors of George Washington memorabilia, Masonic history, early American artifacts, or historically significant decorative pieces.
