Sjerp gedragen door kapitein van Hoeg Schilthouwer van Oostee, gesneuveld op de citadel van Antwerpen op 13 December 1832. 1800 - 1830

This 19th-century silk sash, created by an anonymous artist, is a poignant reminder of the Belgian Revolution. The sash, with its faded tan color and frayed tassels, belonged to Captain van Hoeg Schilthouwer van Oostee, who died during the siege of Antwerp in 1832. The object serves as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for Belgian independence, a symbol of a pivotal moment in European history. The sash's physical deterioration reflects the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this historical event.
