Picture on page 86
(86) Opposite: Wooden lion on ornamented pedestal, carved in 1621 by Pauwel Diericx for the foot of the stairs under the arcade of the north wing. It bears the coat-of-arms of Balthasar III Moretus and Anna-Maria de Neuf. As Balthasar III was not raised to the nobility until 1692, it may be assumed that the lion originally bore a different device: probably Plantin's compasses and Balthasar's I Moretus's star.
