Kleermakersgilde van Vlissingen 1614

This small, circular, silver seal, dating back to 1614, is a fascinating example of a guild seal. The front features a depiction of a pot with two handles, symbolizing the "Kleermakersgilde van Vlissingen" (Tailors' Guild of Vlissingen), a Dutch guild that represented the interests of tailors in the city of Vlissingen. The reverse side displays crossed scissors under a crown, further emphasizing the guild's craft. The inscription on the seal provides further information about the guild and its activities.
