Pliska rosette 🥰

"The Pliska rosette The Pliska Rosette is a seven-pointed bronze rosette found in 1961 in Pliska, the medieval capital of Bulgaria. It is dated by archeologists to the 7th-9th century. It is in the shape of a seven-pointed star and 38 mm in diameter. It is inscribed with Proto-Bulgar signsThe Bulgars seem to have spoken a Turkic language, and terms and titles in the Proto- Bulgar inscriptions can be paralleled in those from the Orkhon valley. For more see: Mark Whittow, The Making of Orthodox Byzantium, 600–1025; Macmillan International Higher Education, 1996, , p. 271.Bulgar runic-like signs have also been found in clearly Christian contexts, such as the monasteries of Murfatlar (Constanţa district, Romania) and Ravna (Varna district, Bulgaria), as well as on the above-mentioned bronze rosette from Pliska. Some believe the script to be genuinely Bulgar one, although it is rather heterogeneous and about a third of the signs can be recognized in runic-like inscriptions of the so-called Orkhon-Yenisei type. For more see: “The” Other Europe in the Middle Ages: Avars, Bulgars, Khazars and Cumans; Volume 2, with editors Florin Curta and Roman Kovalev; BRILL, 2008, , p. 191. of the Murfatlar type. Each ray is inscribed with two signs and an IYI symbol can be seen on the back. Modern use Representations of the medallion's design are often used (along with the symbol IYI and first letter from the glagolitic alphabet - File:GlagolitsaAz.gif) by nationalist and patriotic movements in Bulgaria. It is also used as the logo of bTV's documentary series Bulgarite (Българите). References * “The Bronze Rosette from Pliska: On Decoding the Runic Inscriptions in Bulgaria.” in Byzantino-Slavica.
