This anonymous wooden plane, dating back to the late 16th century, is a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. Its simple design and worn surface speak to its practical purpose as a tool for smoothing wood. The plane is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the everyday objects that shaped life in the Netherlands during the Golden Age. This artifact allows viewers to glimpse into the history of carpentry and the skilled hands that created it.
