A forgotten plate!

Recently I corresponded with a distant family member which reminded me of this bone china plate I painted back in 1994.      It has been sitting on top of  a cabinet in  the lounge ever since, and today I took it down and washed lots (and lots!) of dust from it and then took this picture.  
I have a Jewish background coming from the Tribe of Judah, the Family of David and the Household of Shaltiel who was the father of Zerubbabel and who is mentioned in the book of Ezra in the Bible.
The family are Saphardic, which means we left Spain during the Spanish Inquisition and then became scattered nearly all over the world.
