The metal plate came to the museum in 1984. It was a gift from the Communist Party of Guadeloupe, founded in 1958, to the political leadership of the GDR and was given to the museum by the SED Politburo in 1984. State gifts that had been presented to individual politicians, or to the GDR or the SED as institutions, were regularly handed over to the museums by the SED Central Committee or its Politburo. The context of production or the circumstances of the gift to the state leadership were rarely documented in detail.
