sold by Delta 98 Den Haag: 2x an antique wax seal of the family Kist - Waye / Waije
By coincidence we bought, with a few years in between, twice a wax seal with the coat of arms depicting a man sitting in a coffin, so not in a boat as one of the former owners thought
the coat of arms was very easy to find at CBG Den Haag,
the story behind the name Kist was much more fun.
