Product Description
Discover this beautiful Gaper, a unique collector's item made of crushed natural stone, made by the maker Intec and numbered as number 39.
The Gaper is a traditional Dutch phenomenon, traditionally found above the doors of pharmacies. The statue, with its characteristic open mouth, symbolizes the history of pharmacists and their profession. Often depicted with a tongue stuck out or with a pill in the mouth, the Gaper served as a recognizable sign to the public that medicines were sold here.
