i think these pieces are not Latvian origin. From the text i can read on these plates it’s Lithuanian. I could be wrong too – because both languages are really similar in writing…

Other than that, they are really beautiful art pieces.

I think if you could see them up close, you’d know what they were also. The ink comes off in your hand just a little bit. I sent Pam another photo that had two more plates on it that were polished up a little more. I’m glad you like them! — Lisa

You rescued a piece of history! Isn’t it amazing how something like this, so specialized an item, just happens to end up in the thrift store that you visit – you being the person who knows what they are, first of all (!), and will appreciate and display them and keep them safe. Gives me chills…
