The purple ribbon is looped through a bar on the back of the nameplate and sewn closed. There is a pin fastener across the back of the nameplate as well. The purple ribbon is slightly less than the width of the name plate and is printed with gold text which reads [REPRESENTATIVE / PRINCE / HALL / GRAND LODGE / F. & A.M. / Jurisdiction of / MASSACHUSETTS]. The bottom of the ribbon is cut into an inverted "V" shape, which is fraying.
