This anonymous plaque, dated 1811-1815, depicts the Order of the Reunion, a Dutch order established in 1814 during the reign of King William I. The plaque is crafted in silver and features an eagle with spread wings perched atop a shield. The shield's inscription, "Voor Trouw en Deugd," (For Loyalty and Virtue) encapsulates the ideals of the order. The intricate details and the inscription provide historical insight into Dutch heraldry and the political climate of the early 19th century.
