Staf van het St. Sebastiaans- of Handboogschuttersgilde

The birds on the chains and on the top of the staff refer to the shooting competitions when a parrot was the target. The archer who won the annual competition could wear the chain (like a chain of office) and carry the staff at official ceremonies throughout the following year.
