The plaque features a detailed raised relief scene with hand-colored appearance and is titled “Priscilla and John Alden” along the lower edge.
It is mounted in a wood frame with a dark fabric backing. A label on the reverse shows that the piece was custom framed by The Picture Center in Roanoke, Virginia on December 19, 1974, so the framing is later than the plaque itself.
This is an Ivorex plaque, a composition material designed to imitate the appearance of carved ivory. It is not genuine ivory.
A nice early 20th-century decorative piece for collectors of George Osborne Ivorex, Mayflower/Pilgrim memorabilia, colonial Americana, or antique wall décor.
