Geuzennap, volgens overlevering toebehoord hebbende aan de graaf van Egmond before 1688

This 17th-century wooden cup, known as a "Geuzennap," is a rare example of a drinking vessel used by the Geuzen, a Dutch resistance group during the Eighty Years' War. The cup is crafted from dark wood and features a gold band around the rim, and is attached to a chain with three small bottles or "Geuzennap" bottles, possibly made from bone, horn, or wood. The cup is believed to have belonged to the Count of Egmond, a prominent figure in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain. This artifact offers a glimpse into the material culture and daily life of the Geuzen, providing insights into their practices and beliefs during a pivotal period in Dutch history.
