Zunftschild (guild sign) for stonemasons and bricklayers

Biberach an der RißGermany

Zunftschild (guild sign) for stonemasons and bricklayers. It is an artifact displayed in a glass cabinet. The sign is composed of classical architectural elements, including columns, a pediment, and a laurel wreath surrounding a central inscription in German: "ehemaliger Zunftschild der Maurer & Steinmetzen" (former guild sign of bricklayers & stonemasons). The sign also includes broken columns and tools, suggesting labor and potentially construction or destruction. Above the sign, a metal skimmer with holes is visible. In the bottom of the frame there is a table with the title of what is inside the cabinet: STUTZUHR. The display includes printed labels with additional information. A partial label is visible with the text "RMACHER: STUTZUHR" and some text in the German language relating it to the city of Biberach an der Riß.
