Kuipers- en wijnverlatersgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Arent Harmelingh, meester kuiper 1732

This 1732 guild medal, created by an anonymous artist, commemorates Arent Harmelingh, a master cooper, and his membership in the Kuipers- en wijnverlatersgilde van Amsterdam. One side depicts a cooper's tools within a laurel wreath, symbolizing his craft and achievement, while the other side displays his name, title, and the date. This small, bronze medal (4.1 cm in diameter) is a testament to the guild system's importance in 18th-century Amsterdam.
