Braille

This Braille
plaque is
14 inches long and made of brass (also available in copper). It is riveted to a copper
peace pole in this photo. On a wooden pole it would be held on with screws. In
each of those cases it costs the same as an additional language, which is $100.
On resin poles it is white on white along
site the visual languages and costs $12.50.
The brass will gain a green patina while the copper will have a blue patina. That will make its color stand out like the other translations on the pole.
At this stage the peace pole had not yet been exposed to the weather to deepen the colors.
Above it is an olive branch.
This was in the crate ready to go out, and a bit sawdusty, when I happened to think that I should take a photo to post here.
Stone
Braille is raised bumps that can be read by feeling with fingers. Engraving in stone is making depressions, not bumps. So Braille isn't available for stone peace poles. Attaching a metal plaque to a stone peace pole is unaesthetic and is a maintenance problem.
