Kuipers- en wijnverlatersgilde van Amsterdam, gildepenning van Jan Oosterman, meester kuiper 1756

This 1756 guild medal, made by an unknown artist, belonged to Jan Oosterman, a master cooper. It depicts a cooper's tool, a curved hoop used to bind barrels, surrounded by a laurel wreath. On the reverse, the inscription “1756 Jan Oosterman den 10 Juny M. Kuiper” marks the date and his trade. This small, yet historically significant object, highlights the traditions of the cooper's guild in Amsterdam.
