Kunera: Online Database Religieuze en Profane Insignes en Ampullen (Centrum voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen). The database contains currently 13817 images and descriptions of objects in private and public collections all over Europe and the United States. Now all of the entries can be viewed online at www.ru.nl/ckd/kunera. Because the work on the database continues and new finds – both archaeological and scholarly – occur constantly, Kunera is updated regularly. Also, all badges published in both books, Heilig en Profaan 1 en 2, are included in the Kunera Database. More reading about Kunera: Asperen, H. van (2005). Kunera.
