English term or phrase:decke
Beschreibung eines altdeutschen Wappens:
Auf dem Schild, mit schwarz-silbernen Decken, ein offener schwarzer Flug, ein goldenes Zepter einschließend.
Mit Decken sind die geschwungenen Bänder gemeint, die das Wappen umgeben, siehe Beispiel: www.cousin.de/rhenania/wappen.html
Ich glaube, *ribbon* wäre keine gute Übersetzung.
not sure if you mean this:
Mantle
This is said to represent the clothe that hung from the wreath and protected the back of the head and neck, even though it may often be depicted more like the leaves of a plant.
