St. Lucasgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Frans Woutersen, glazenmaker 1622

This small, circular bronze medal, dating back to 1622, was created for Frans Woutersen, a glassmaker and member of the St. Lucasgilde van Amsterdam. The guild was a professional association for artists and craftsmen, and this medal would have been a mark of membership. The obverse features the guild's coat of arms, while the reverse is inscribed with "Frans Woutersen" and the date. This piece offers a glimpse into the history of the guild and the working life of glassmakers in 17th-century Amsterdam.
