Magnificent is one of many superlatives to describe the seven guildhalls called the House of the Dukes of Brabant along the Grand Place’s east side. This bas-relief pediment graces the center of the Baroque façade of Maison des Ducs de Brabant. Apparently it represents “Abundance” but some believe it means “Recovery of Trade and Industry.” Also notice the golden seals of the merchant trades that worked here centuries ago.
