Polish - Lithuanian Scriptures

The rusty fonts of either Polish or Lithuanian scripture on the 1970 gravesite of Mykola's Krupavicius.

 

This all welded steel structure marks the grave of Mykola’s Krupavicius - (1885-1970). All the letters that are inside the arc shaped structure are welded to hollow steel tubes which are welded in place between each piece of vertical square tube.

 

The base at the bottom of the structure has more letters that may have threaded studs welded on the backside so they could possibly be bolted down.

 

I am also not sure if the entire structure was ever painted. There is no evidence of any paint. The structure is rusty. The letters inside the arc show faded & worn paint as does part of the base under the individual letters.

 

I'm going to have to reshoot this when the sun is lined up dead center so all the letters are bathed in sunlight or wait for a cloudy day.
