Timmerliedengilde van Vlissingen, gildepenning met no. 19 en no. 6 1627

This 1627 guild medallion, crafted by Johannes Looff, is a fine example of Dutch Renaissance metalwork. The obverse features the guild's emblem: a wine jug (a symbol of the guild's social function) with the year 1627 and the number 19, perhaps indicating membership or rank. The reverse depicts a compass and other carpentry tools, alluding to the guild's craft. Looff was a prominent artist known for his intricate medallions, often incorporating religious and allegorical imagery. This medallion, though small in size, demonstrates Looff's artistry and the importance of guild identity in 17th-century Dutch society.
