Seals of the provinces of The Netherlands

 

This project, according to Hip Beyer, took two years to complete. An artist painted the seals on canvas, and Beyer worked the needlepoint over the design using wool yarn.

 

Located on the stairway wall at the Dekker Huis Museum, the five southern provinces are displayed at the lower level and the seven northern provinces are shown at the upper level.
