TracA Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Fascinating miniature medal, No One. I’m going to display my ignorance of medals here, but I am surprised to see the rosette on the miniature medal ribbon and ribbon for the ribbon bar. I understand the lapel rosette, indicating receipt of the medal, but would not expect to see the rosette on the ribbons because the miniature medal and ribbon bar ribbon themselves indicate receipt of the medal. I have so much to learn. All the best, Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No one Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Dear TracA, Thanks for the interest. I was as surprised as you are, puzzled, and intrigued by those rosettes. And I don't have the answers. The ones that are currently being sold are identical to mine.

Megan Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Sometimes a minature of a lower class of an order is worn to indicate possession of a higher class of that order. Not sure if this was done in Sarawak, it's more of a European thing; and I'm not really into minatures anyway. The ribbon can be decorated with a rosette or other insignia to indicate this. Use of a rosette and 'wings' are also commonplace on a ribbon bar to indicate the class of the order held. A rosette and silver 'wings' as shown here conventionally represents a holder of the Commander or Third Class of a typical 5-class order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
