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 hands in a praying posture, lying with his head on a cushion under a canopy. He wears chainmail and a breastplate; 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. On each of the two long sides of the tomb are seven shallow niches with blind window tracery, containing quatrefoils; four at the head end and three at the foot end. The foot end shows in the central niche a standing young person in a long robe, with a band (?) in the hair and hands in a praying posture.
