A head of a 'wildeman' or giant, which because of its open mouth is sometimes mistaken for a yawner. It was relocated here from the museum in 1956 and came from the 'Generaalshuis' at Vrijthof 47, which dates from 1805, where it was placed as a decorative keystone above the carriage entrance in the rear facade. Its "brothers" on the front facade still have that same function.
