This item is a historical artifact from the South African Apartheid era, featuring a rectangular metal panel with painted text. Measuring 47cm x 12cm, the sign displays the segregationist phrasing "WHITES ONLY" in English, positioned directly above its Afrikaans translation "NET BLANKES." The text is rendered in bold, white block lettering against a solid black background. Representing a dark and significant period of 20th-century socio-political history.
