This 1693 tapestry, crafted by Jacobus van der Gucht, features the coat of arms of The Hague. The central motif is a white stork, the city's symbol, surrounded by a laurel wreath. Two red lions, representing strength and power, flank the emblem. The tapestry's intricate details and vibrant colors evoke the splendor of 17th-century Dutch craftsmanship. The date, prominently displayed in the lower center, signifies the year of the tapestry's creation. This decorative piece, with its historical significance and artistic merit, stands as a testament to the city's rich heritage.
