"Better dead than a slave" wooden bowl (Frisian North Germanic motto)
Wooden bowl in the shape of a tub with 2 handles - made of untreated spruce, can also be used as a bread basket.
Old Frisian motto and cry of freedom: "Lewwer duad üs Slaav" (better dead than a slave) burned into both sides with a soldering iron.
North Germanic peoples, North Sea Germanic peoples, Frisians, Stedinger and all other Germanic tribes!
The saying "Better dead than a slave" has various spellings depending on the region, including:
- Lewwer duad üs Slaav
- Lewer duad üs slav
- Lever dood as Slav
- Lever dood as Slav
- Liewer düd aß Slaawe
- Liewer düd aß Slaawe
The answer to Eala Frya Fresena (Frisian freedom) in East Frisian Low German is the cry "Lever dood as Slaav" (Better dead than a slave).
Lewwer duad üs Slaav
"Unity and freedom for the peoples of the Northlands," so the call for freedom resounds louder and louder throughout all lands. In Friesland, the oath once rang out: "in life, in death - in defiance of tyrants."
At many a time and many a place, through lies and deceit, through injustice and oppression, all that is sacred to us has been desecrated. Put an end to the devastation, take our ancestors as an example; half-dying, half-living - in the right hand the sword that we pass on to our children. - The final warning becomes the duty of our heirs: Lewwer duad üs Slaav.
The sword consecrated with but one oath. The embers glow, the blade sparkles in the light. Borne in honor for generations, to the delight of the gods, to the fear of the enemies. The earth trembles, the swords flash in the raging battle towards victory. For the legacy, the call resounds for eternity: Lewwer duad üs Slaav!
