Tipereth. Tiferet.
"The crossed shepherd crooks and keys refer to the Kabalistic concept of Tipereth which also can be symbolically represented by a truncated pyramid as on the back of the dollar bill. Tipereth, the sixth Sephera, is the concept of the dying and resurrecting god and is the centerpiece of being made a Mason - the ritual death and rebirth ceremony which is part of all mystery religions."
