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.
