This is a “Vegter”.
It depicts a night watchman, an occupation immortalised by Rembrandt. In medieval times, the Vegter would patrol the streets of the city, lantern in hand, protecting citizens from bandits and other unsavoury elements. The formidable greatcoated figure would be armed with a “ goedendag” (literally “good day”), known in English as a “morningstar”. With a spiked iron ball mounted on a heavy staff, it was sufficient to tame even the most unruly of the characters operating under cover of night.
The figure features in the masthead of the Vegter Kroniek [Vegter Chronicles], the Vegter family newspaper which is published every two months. The VK, as readers have come to know it since 1987, is written by and distributed among the extended Vegter family across four continents.
The origin of the name Vegter" and the Vegter family tree can be found (in Dutch language) on the following site " de Vegter familie ".
