Description

• This room-divider was once used in the courtroom by the Dutch at the Batavia Castle. At the top of it, under the crown, present the six city symbols where the VOC’s chambers resided (left-to-right: Delft, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Batavia, Middelburg, Hoorn and Enkhuizen). In the middle part of the room-divider, there is a figure depicting a young man wearing an armor. The red paint and gold coating on some parts are peeled off and faded. The ornament on the divider of the room is a distinctive baroque-style carving, a style that began to develop in Italy, in the late 16th century.
