Curiosity Corner #310: Phil Fed of RSA emblem.
What's that strange emblem in the centre of the
Philatelic Federation of South Africa logo, you may ask? http://cjoint.com/data/dwfQg7WHaI.htm a circle with a curved and a straight line beneath. This represents the ancient Postal Stones, underneath which letters were placed by passing sailors, with a request to have them conveyed to their address by the next suitable passing ship. The circle is the stone: The curve, the letters, and the straight line, the earth on which it rested. |
