This is the Greek version:

but I'm sure I've seen a version of this in a netherlandish picture....

Two more links that might be useful:

Juuti Petri Kaivot ja käymälät (Wells and Toilets) (Tampere University Press, 2005) ISBN: 951-44-6251-3
Can download as a PDF

Searching for other papers published by Petri here gives some more articles that may be useful, and this webpage written by him does mention toilets before 1600 in Finland.

Hope this random post helps too! :)
