Leren schootsvel behorend tot de uitrusting van een sappeur van de 1e Afdeling Noord-Hollandse Schutterij c. 1800 - 1830

This anonymous work from the early 19th century is a leather shooting apron, part of a sapper's equipment from the 1st Division of the North Holland Militia. The apron, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, would have been worn to protect the user's clothing from debris and damage while digging and firing. Its worn and weathered condition suggests years of use and highlights the practical nature of this object.
