s. m.
1 raffigurazione di un rotolo di carta, in parte spiegato e recante iscrizioni; si usa come elemento decorativo in pittura o scultura
2 (non com.) striscia di carta.

in molti glossari sui tappeti come
Cartiglio
Nelle arti figurative, e particolarmente in architettura, elemento decorativo (plastico o dipinto) simulante un foglio di carta di forma variabile, con lembi arricciati, destinato ad accogliere un’iscrizione o uno stemma.

Ho l'impressione che si tratti di un "hang tag" cioe' un cartellino asportabile, piuttosto che un'etichetta (cucita nella cucitura del tessuto)

Non ho elementi probanti oltre l'impressione che non si possa trattare di etichetta/label

Thanks Paola, I actually meant a tag rather than a label: you're right a label's usually stitched/glued to the article, whilst a tag hangs from it.

Thanks to Luskie to for the confirmation - I saw the term used for the strips of paper in Baci chocolates, so that answer was right too.
