The Lodge, styled a Supreme Council, is hung in purple, with skeletons
and skulls and cross-bones. A magnificent throne with a purple and gold
canopy is in the East, and a delta with the "ineffable characters" is
beneath it. In the North is a skeleton holding the white banner of the
Order (with a black double-headed eagle, and gilded in gold), and in the
South is the flag of the country. The Lodge is lit by eleven lights (five
in the East, three in the West, one in the North, and two in the South).
