From the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory (Australia). This painting, depicting a blending of indigenous and Masonic initiation tropes, just won the museum’s top award. From the site:

Danie Mellor - From Rite to Ritual
Mixed media on paper
h 207 x w 154 cm

From Rite to Ritual explores the encounter between Indigenous and non-Indigenous, or settler cultures. In this case the meeting place is the interior of a continental Freemasonic lodge (a ‘blue’ lodge), and comments on the importance of secret and public ceremony and initiation in both cultures; it speaks of the challenges of settlement, and the differences in spiritual enactment and belief.

Neat! (Also check out this mind-boggling list of the ways in which our daily lives are impacted by the legacy of Freemasonry.)
