Tomb of William the Silent, Royal tomb in Nieuwe Kerk, Delft, Netherlands.
The marble and bronze tomb features a sculpted effigy of William lying in state, with a small dog at his feet and four corner statues.
The States General commissioned this burial monument in 1614, and skilled craftsmen completed the construction between 1614 and 1623.
This monument marks the beginning of a royal tradition, as nearly all members of the House of Orange-Nassau rest in the vault beneath.
Visitors can view the tomb in the church daily, while the royal burial vault underneath remains closed to the public.
A carved stone with four brass rings covers the vault entrance, displaying the House of Orange-Nassau coat of arms and Latin inscriptions.
