Familiewapens Oetgens van Waveren en Spiegel c. 1624 - 1644

"Familiewapens Oetgens van Waveren en Spiegel" (Family Arms of Oetgens van Waveren and Spiegel), is a tapestry woven by Tobias Schaep between 1624 and 1644. This work, measuring 190 cm in height and 306 cm in width, displays the heraldic arms of the Oetgens van Waveren and Spiegel families, featuring a central shield flanked by ornate scrolls, all set against a dark blue background. The tapestry's design also includes a selection of animals: a lion, a horse, a dog, a goat, a panther, and a bull, perhaps referencing the families' lineage or their roles in the community. The tapestry is a testament to the craftsmanship of the 17th-century weaver and provides a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the Oetgens van Waveren and Spiegel families.
