In the Schepenzaal, the Hall of the Scabini, or magistrates, the chief of police used to meet with the nine magistrates of Amsterdam.
There is a fireplace on both sides of the hall. The one on the south side is topped with a painting depicting Moses with the Ten Commandments, painted in 1662 by Ferdinand Bol. Below the painting is a sculpture of the Adoration of the Golden Calf by Artus Quellinus, dating to 1656.
