A nice hand carved wooden plate with a script ‘Heil Dem Gast Der Zu Uns Kommt’ from the Norse ‘Edda’, a welcoming message to visiting guests which translates to ‘Hail the Guest that Comes to Us’.
A fine plate that shows its age. As often happens at some point a split has developed, in this case between the D and E of ‘Der’ and if you look at the reverse of the plate you can see its more visible there.
Interestingly we know this script was used by the SS, plates of this type with this ‘Heil Dem Gast Der Zu Uns Kommt’ saying were made in SS craft workshops.
