Old arms and new signs

Never seen the lions of the "Accijnshuis" (build in1637-1638) so naked as they are now having a sexshop as neighbor. The building for years the tax collectors office of Amsterdam is now a bar in the red light district. One for Signs, Signs here.

  4. It looks like the lions are clutching each other, saying "Keep me away!" from the sex shop. They all seem to be looking at it too.

  9. Lovely heraldic lions, but one pair is holding a ball with XXX on it? Must have some other meaning.
