Tomb of Arnold van der Sluis of Heusden, Knight (c. 1245-1296)

The tomb has a cover plate, on which between two pinnacles the deceased is depicted with open eyes and with hands in a praying position, lying with his head on a cushion under a canopy. He wears chainmail and a skirt of mail, from the right shoulder hangs the baldric, to which the shield, which almost entirely covers the sword, is attached. Around the waist he wears a broad belt, around the head a band. On the shield the family coat of arms, also the city coat of arms of Heusden. In each of the two long sides of the tomb are seven shallow niches with blind window tracery, in which quatrefoils; at the head end four and at the foot end three niches with window tracery. The foot end shows in the middle niche a standing, young person dressed in a long robe with a band (?) in the hair and with hands in a praying position; in each of the flanking niches a coat of arms; of which the right one shows a climbing, crowned lion with a split tail.
