Gorget of the St Sebastian Civic Guard in Roosendaal
Gorgets (neck armour) ranked among the most prominent ceremonial silver of civic guard companies. They were worn by the annually appointed head or ‘king’ of the militia company. Later generations, to commemorate their term in office, added pendants of birds and shields bearing family arms and names, whose execution is much plainer than that of the gorget itself. This gorget bears the arms of Roosendaal Manor and the Orange-Nassau family.
