An old-fashioned outdoor guild sign that juts from a storefront depicts a baker holding a pretzel that advertises a bakery (backerei) in Stein am Rhein, Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The pretzel has been a traditional symbol for bakeries since medieval times and is thought to represent arms crossed in prayer.
