Note du spécialiste

This is the only mortar by Hendrick Ruter that was known to Wittop Koning, mortars from Nijmegen are rare in any case. There is a tombstone in the St. Stevens church in Nijmegen inscribed Johan van Daerneburch den Ouden is gestorven den 7 januari 1620; presumably this is the man who commissioned the present mortar.
