Banderole (pennant)

Banderole (pennant)

A Banderole (Fr. for a "little banner") is a small flag or streamer carried on the lance of a knight, or flying from the mast-head of a ship in battle, etc.

The term is also used in art and architecture for a speech scroll or streamer, representing a roll of parchment carried by or surrounding a figure or object, for bearing an inscription, typically the name of or a quotation from the figure depicted, though many are blank and were decorative and never intended to be lettered. See banderole for more information.

In heraldry, the term is used for both these meanings and for other small streamers or ribbons. [ [http://flagspot.net/flags/vxt-dv-b.html##banderole Dictionary of heraldic terms] ] Often it commemorated a particular exploit of the person bearing the coat of arms.

"Bannerol" is the term especially applied to the square banners carried at the funerals of great men and placed over the tomb.
