The Short History of Rosettes

Early examples of rosettes, dating back to the 8th/9th century have been found. The rosette rays depicted moons and planets, an example of which is the bronze Piliska rosette. They have been manufactured in a variety of materials and were usually worn as a badge of distinction or as a decoration on shoes.
