    • "hand-gestures commonly used by Masons posing for portraits. A common one is known as the "Hidden Hand", whereby the right hand is placed partially or fully within one's shirt/jacket. Masonic kings, presidents, prime ministers, and media personalities have been photographed posing the Hidden Hand. Another common one is the "Claw", right hand at chest bending all knuckles into a claw." [30]
