Huge 33 x 23.25 plastic plaque from the dedication of Nobel Square in Cape Town, South Africa, on December 14, 2003, prominently signed in black felt tip by South African Nobel Prize winners Nelson Mandela, Frederik Willem de Klerk, and Desmond Tutu; also signed by Dr. Albertina Luthuli (on behalf of her late father, the Nobel laureate Albert Lutuli), Marthinus van Schalkwyk, Ebrahim Rasool, and Fatima Abrahams. The text of this historic plaque reads: "This plaque, naming Nobel Square, was officially unveiled by Western Cape Premier Marthinus van Schalkwyk, Western Cape Minister for Finance and Economic Development, Ebrahim Rasool, and V & A Waterfront Holdings Chairperson, Prof Fatima Abrahams, in the presence of South Africa's Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Mr F.

Two years later, larger-than-life bronze sculptures of South Africa's four Nobel Peace Prize recipients were unveiled in the square in 2005. A remarkable piece honoring South Africa's greatest activists.
