Armchair of a guild of Saint George
The flourishing of civic militia companies testifies to the growing power of ordinary citizens. Each guild had its own building, the doelen. This chair stood in the doelen of a guild of crossbowmen, as can be seen from the crossbow depicted on its back. From which town it came is unknown. The patron saint of crossbowmen was Saint George.
