Pentagonal Copper Peace Pole
Five-sided peace pole
(also available with 6 sides or
7 sides)
I had not been happy with the four-sided
peace poles I had seen and had made. They were too small in diameter and seemed spindly and without
meaning. Five sides fixed that. Five sides provides one side for each continent, like the five rings of the
Olympic flag, and makes it bigger so it has a greater presence (for even more
presence it also is available with six sides at
this link). Since the pole itself makes a
statement as much as the text on it, I wanted the aesthetics to support the
message in this way.
This copper peace pole is the most popular of my large peace
poles. I have shipped it from Dubai to Hawaii. At the time of this writing, the five most recently shipped were to a
church in downtown Chicago (where it stands at a busy intersection);
a school in
Ann Arbor, Michigan; a wellness center in St. Augustine, Florida; the Yale
Divinity School and one for the town of Canton, Connecticut.
Translations
Peace poles are made one at a time so that you can choose which languages you would like on yours. Over one hundred translations of the phrase "May Peace Prevail on Earth" are available. New translations can be done as well. Click translations to see the list of what is available.
Planting / Installing
A copper peace pole can be installed by burying a portion of it or by sliding it over stakes. One person can carry this peace pole. So having a group carry it to the planting site during a ceremony is easy to do. They weigh only about forty pounds.

Upgrading
One of my copper peace poles was planted at a high school where their peace pole is the focal point for students resolving differences. When there is a squabble or a confrontation, the tradition is to send the students to the peace pole to read the message, think about the purpose of their peace pole and figure out how to arrive at peace themselves. Originally they did this around a wooden pole. When they built a new school, they decided that their peace pole had come to have such importance in their community that they wanted one that lived up to that importance. They upgraded from a wooden peace pole to a five-sided copper peace pole.
