commemorative plaque
Mounted tribute sign
A commemorative plaque is a flat tablet, typically metal or stone, mounted on a wall, monument, or other surface to honor a person, event, or historical significance of a place.
Plaques mark where notable figures lived, where battles occurred, or where buildings once stood: A commemorative plaque outside the pub notes that Dylan Thomas drank there.
