Ceiling painting in the Lebuinus Church. The divided coat of arms with eagle and mallard was worn by every merchant ship from Deventer during the heyday of the Hanseatic League. The eagle is still part of the coat of arms of Deventer and dates back to Emperor Charlemagne. Stockfish was an important commodity imported in barter with Norway. Deventer also bore the name Stockfischkaff "Stockvissengat"
