Faite de vermeil, elle mesure 4 pieds de hauteur et pèse environ 18 livres. Ses quatre faces représentent respectivement la couronne royale, les armoiries de la Nouvelle Écosse, le grand sceau actuel de la province (celui conféré avant la Confédération) et la silhouette d’un Président vêtu de ses habits officiels. Sont également gravés sur la masse la fleur de mai, emblème floral de la Nouvelle Écosse, et le chardon écossais. La masse a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Elkington and Company, Limited. M. et Mme Harris souhaitaient que leur don de la masse reste anonyme. Le premier ministre de l’époque a respecté leur désir, mais a demandé que leur legs puisse être reconnu ultérieurement au moyen d’une inscription gravée sur la masse. Par conséquent, dans son testament, le juge en chef a chargé ses exécuteurs de faire graver l’inscription suivante sur la masse et d’assumer les coûts des travaux à même sa succession : « Cette masse fut présentée à la Chambre d’assemblée de la province de la Nouvelle Écosse par l’honorable Robert E.
