30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Templar Cross Bicephalic Eagle

Description

30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire Templar Cross Bicephalic Eagle

Worn at the 30th Degree Knight of Kadosh, this Scottish Rite Collar drapes in a formal V-shape from shoulder to chest, constructed from black moire ribbon running 11 cm wide along its full length. The moire surface on black fabric behaves differently from flat-dyed alternatives. Under Lodge room lighting, the woven pattern produces a subtle directional sheen across the collar body that reads as depth rather than shine, giving the black field a weight and presence that plain ribbon cannot achieve.

White border trim runs the complete length of both collar panels, from shoulder line to the center point where the panels meet. The trim line defines the collar geometry cleanly against the ceremonial dress beneath it, and the contrast between the white edge and the black moire body gives the collar its formal silhouette. This border detail is visible from across the Lodge room floor, which is where a 30th Degree officer collar needs to read clearly.

Two red Maltese crosses sit at the shoulder position, one on each panel. The crosses are positioned symmetrically, mounted on the black moire field where they carry maximum visibility against the dark ground. Red on black at this scale reads with immediate clarity, and the Maltese cross is the correct identifying symbol for the Knight of Kadosh degree work at this level.

At the center bottom point of the collar, a silver and white emblem carries a bicephalic eagle with spread wings, an anchor below the body, and a sword detail within the design. The eagle faces outward on both heads, a symbolic configuration specific to Scottish Rite degree iconography at the 30th level. This central emblem anchors the full collar composition and identifies the degree without any text required.

The swivel hook at the bottom center point allows a jewel to be attached when the officer’s collar jewel is part of the degree presentation. The hook mechanism swivels to keep the jewel hanging correctly regardless of movement, preventing rotation or misalignment during ceremony.

Black moire ribbon at 11 cm width provides enough panel surface to carry both the shoulder crosses and the full central emblem without crowding any element. The width is a deliberate construction measurement for this degree collar format.

The swivel hook at the base holds the attached jewel flat against the collar point through the full ceremony without rotation or pull.
