I'm not sure, I've never seen on before but would guess at it being Edwardian, do you know when she died. This will bring up the board for Jim to have a look at. I wonder if it was for a remembrance service or some kind of tribute.

Thank you - unfortunately I do not have the original but a distant cousin was kind enough to share a number of pictures of Emma Howard with me.
