A stone (Dutch: 'steen') falling from a mountain (Dutch: 'berg') 'touched by no man's hand' is about to fall on the clay feet of the great statue - a king with crown and scepter - of Nebukadnezar's dream; God represented as the sun inscribed with 'Deus' and a Jahweh-tetragram; a face symbolizes the winds; mountainous landscape with villages

In the Septuagint and Vulgaat the words lithos and oros, and lapis and mons are used in Daniel 2, in verse 34 and further on. This can be seen as a pun on Steenberch's name which is composed of those two words. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this is indeed a printer's device
