About the Item

A hand-hammered Haitian folk art relief portrait plaque depicting General Georges Biassou. Biassou was a leader in the slave uprising in Saint-Domingue that started the Haitian Revolution.

This plaque commemorates this at the bottom, “Commander of Fort Matanzas, St. Augustine FL, 1796-1801.” It is signed illegibly. 20 inches wide by 10 inches tall
