Ceremonial Chain of the Guild of Saint George of Zevenbergen

All of the visible elements on the chain have a special meaning. The patron saint, Saint George, and his arms signify that the collar belonged to the Guild of Saint George, while the other devices indicate the authority to which it answered. Even the seven mountains, after which the town of Zevenbergen is named, are depicted. The oak leaves stand for religious steadfastness, the storks for piety, and respect for church, state, and master.
