Unicorn on top of the banpost of Schardam

Unicorn on top of the banpost (boundary marker) of Schardam. ."In the village, between the Noorder- and Zuidersluis, there is a banpost of the city of Hoorn, which was placed there in 1761. At that time Schardam therefore still partly belonged to the jurisdiction of the city of Hoorn. The banpost shows a red-colored unicorn; the horn is golden and points in the direction of the city of Hoorn, on the other side of Hoornse Hop. The animal also holds a shield depicting Hoorn's coat of arms. The banpaal is a national monument. " [source: wikipedia] - Schardam, North-Holland, the Netherlands.
