About the work
Civic guards organized contests. The person who succeeded in shooting a stuffed parrot from a tall pole was crowned king. People from all walks of life took part in these contests: the winner of the one held in Zevenbergen on 18 July 1546 was Cornelis de Glymes van Bergen. On that day he wore the king’s collar, and to commemorate his victory gave the pendant with a shield hanging from it.
