There are twelve consoles on the tower.
The new consoles are designed and made by Ton Mooy  during the restoration of 1993-1996.
They replaced the weathered consoles from around 1930.
The new consoles are made from Volvic basaltlava instead of the previous used Tuff stone, for reasons of durability and weather resistance.
The basalt lava also mimics the surrounding Bentheimer sandstone in colouring, which could not be used anymore due to health regulations, and is suited for finer carving than tuff stone.

Extra information about the persons depicted on the consoles:
Hendrik van Vianden was the Bishop of Utrecht who granted Amersfoort city rights in 1259
Margriete Gijsen found the miraculous Maria statue in the water of the canal near the Kamperpoort in 1444
David of Burgundy was the Bishop of Utrecht when the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren was built
Leendert Nicasius was the city carpenter, who saved the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren from destruction in 1651 after it was struck by lightning
