This plate has been down for generations. My great-grandmother got this plate in 1964 in Montego - Bay Jamaica. It was framed on a wall in her home and has been there for many decades. My great-grandmother and grand-father were very poor and didn't have many nice things when they got the plate they thought it would be a good idea to keep it in a safe place to admire something nice they had for once. They had a family of 10 kids but the two twins died during birth. When my great-grandmother died my great-grandfather told his kids to make sure that someone in the family kept this plate because it would be in remembrance of my great-grandmother and her sacrifice in buying this plate. When my grandmother got older and got married to my grandfather they had my mother and uncle and around 1999-2004 they moved to the United States and brought this plate with them and till this day my grandmother still has the plated that has hej passed down for decades.
