Cultural: Eeuwig Levende Teekens

[Dmv]

Haven't found a seperate topic on this booklet yet, and I believe it is interesting for the cultural fans among us.

This book was published by a (collaboration) publisher called "Hamer" for the exhibition of Dutch folk symbols in The Hague 1941.
Title is “Eeuwig Levende Teekens” / Eternal living signs
Tentoonstelling van Volksche zinnebeelden / Exhibition of folk symbols
Den Haag 1941 / The Hague 1941

I'll post some examples of pages, but you can see the complete inside of the book online here:

It shows folk signs, many runes, in (far) past and present of the Dutch culture.

There also is a nice 11 minute film made in 1941 for the NSB:

I know there is one forum member that has a beautifull large poster of this exhibition with the Irminsul on it.

p.s. I have no proove that the brooch has got anything to do with this book or exhibition, it is period though.

The visable wooden cultural plates are simply breathtaking!!!

One has to wonder how big that one from the Ostmark is - what a beauty!!

One of these was recently sold here and belongs to member Etienne - perhaps he can take some shots of his and post them here.

Who would be considered the cultural expert here?

Thanks

Everyone is it's own expert

Why the question?

Everyone is it's own expert

Why the question?

Because of this odd little item that a vet brought home. All I have is his discharge card and the crazy swastika.

[Thorsten B.]

Now is this something or is this something?!!!

Fabulous piece - what are the exact dimensions?

Can you post more pics of it, please?

[J. M. C.]

I just made it home from the show so give me a little time and I'll get more pictures.

It is nice sized measuring 105mm from nose tip to nose tip.
