The two loosely painted women symbolize Peace and Freedom. Peace is depicted with an olive branch and a large horn of plenty, Freedom with sceptre and hat in hand. The specific event this glass refers to is not clear. It may relate to the Nijmegen Peace Treaties (1678/79), which marked the end of the Dutch War with France.
