The lower half of th epersonal arms shows an Abeng, a cow's horn blown to bring people together in cultural ceremonies, and used traditionally by the Maroons of Jamaica, black slaves who escaped from the colonial plantations and won for themselves significant autonomy in 17 40 in remote interior communities long before emancipation in the rest of the Caribbean.
