Timmerlieden-, metselaars-, loodgieters-, steenhouwers- en straatmakersgilde van 's-Hertogenbosch, gildepenning van Frans van Mosseveld 1796

This 1796 guild token, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a small but significant piece of historical artifact. Made of brass, it measures 5.7 cm in height and 3.9 cm in width, and depicts the tools of the Timmerlieden-, metselaars-, loodgieters-, steenhouwers- en straatmakersgilde van 's-Hertogenbosch (the Carpenters, Masons, Plumbers, Stone-cutters and Street-pavers guild of 's-Hertogenbosch). One side shows the instruments of the various trades, while the other side features the name "FRANS VAN MOSSEVELD" and the date "1796". This token, a tangible representation of a guild member's status and association, offers a glimpse into the history of craftsmanship and communal organization in 18th-century Netherlands.
