This is a stained glass window in the town hall of Haarlem, a city located west of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The window was made around 1636/1637. It shows the family arms of 4 different in that era important Dutch families (from the upper side to the lower side the arms of four couples, on the left the man's arms, on the right the women's arms).

The combination is somewhat remarkable because the window is signed 1637. However, it shows people who were first born in 1649 and married in 1674. Research has shown that both arms were added during a later restoration. For that reason it could be a contribution for Manic Monday (Mē).
