This anonymous 18th-century stone relief, "Gevelsteen met het wapen van Willem Pyll," is a classic example of heraldic art. The crest features a shield with three arrows, likely symbolizing the family's lineage or profession, flanked by two female figures. The inscription "WILLEM. PYLL" identifies the individual the coat of arms belongs to. This type of artwork was common in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries, often displayed on buildings as a symbol of status and lineage.
