Confrerie van St. Joris te Vere 1717

This small, lead medal, created in 1717 by Willem du Pre, depicts Saint George slaying a dragon. This motif is a common symbol of chivalry and bravery. The medal features an intricate design, with the saint on horseback and the dragon in the foreground. Above them, two shields with the city's coat of arms are flanked by an ornate crown, likely signifying the patronage of the city of Vere for this confraternity dedicated to Saint George. These medals were likely given to members of the Confrerie van St. Joris te Vere as a mark of their membership, acting as a tangible symbol of their commitment to the principles of chivalry.
