Drinkschaal, ter viering van het ontzet van Bergen op Zoom
In 1622 Bergen op Zoom weathers a Spanish siege lasting 86 days. The city ‘remains brave’ as noted in the song Merck toch hoe sterck (See how strong). This drinking bowl is made to commemorate this valiant deed. In the middle is the city coat of arms, above which is the following Latin inscription: ‘Bergen triumphs thanks to a lucky star, 3 October 1622.’
