The wolves’ heads
represent the English family of Miller, the double-headed eagles
represent d'Alvarez de Asturias, Borcherds and Wiber; those families
having served in the Holy Roman Empire.
The tree trunk in the crest indicates descent from the Old Cape family
of Borcherds. The cornucopia alludes to the original grantee, Richard
B B Miller's marriage to Mary Magdalene Bernadotte Miller (nee
Vermeulen); in art the Magdalene is often represented pouring ointment
from a horn. It is imagined that some of the petals that lie on the
ground have fallen from the horn of plenty, whereof the three colours
(white pink and blue) are significant to the three children of the
family
