Abstract
The South African coat-of-arms is inscribed with words drawn from the notebooks and papers of the Bleek–Lloyd collection – !ke e: /xarra //ke (diverse people unite). They appear alongside figures adapted from the Linton rock art panel, placing bushman (San) culture at the heart of modern South African identity.
