Pentagonal Copper Peace PoleFive-sided peace pole
TranslationsPeace 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 / InstallingA 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. Reflective Text
The photos at left are of the same peace pole (as it
hangs from a cable as I work on it). Bottom left is with no bright, reflective text skewing the
camera's meter, so it is a
more accurate representation of the color of the patina. The photo
above it captures the text more accurately but makes the patina look darker than
it really is. I'm getting a better camera and working to create a solution to
this so that I will be able to show in one photo what these look like. Price 5 translations are included. Additional are $100 each. Ten are possible. Animal tracks can be added for $50. Usually I put animal tracks in a ring around the bottom of the pole, down where the animals are, with one track on each side. But other configurations are possible. Special dedications
and memorials also can be added. UpgradingOne 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. Home |
