Pediment 1654 - 1655

This is a fragment of a pediment, created by Hendrick Rusius, a Dutch sculptor active in the mid-17th century. Dating back to 1654-1655, the piece features intricately carved details, depicting a coat of arms flanked by two lions, suggesting a possible connection to a noble family or institution. The fragmented nature of the piece hints at its history, perhaps salvaged from a demolished building. The use of stone and the realistic portrayal of the figures are typical of Dutch Baroque sculpture.
