Also see . . .  Ramen 34 (Vereniging Oud Hoorn, in Dutch). Short explanation, with pictures. Excerpt (in translation):
A text on the facade plaque indicates that a bakery and pastry shop was located here from 1912 to 1920. The keystones of the relieving arches of the window frames show images that remind us of this. They were bricked in in 1997.

We see the baker, the baker's wife, a bread basket with bread, a cut cake, four bales of flour and a rolling pin on a flour shovel. The keystones were made by the Flemish sculptor Jan Franck.
