I'm not sure what it's called, but it functions as the band across the crst
that holds the cope shut. usually a meatl fibula holds it closed on one side
of the band. Look under Coptic formal clerigy costumes. One might tell you
what it's called.

that little square thing at the top edge? What is that called?
I've been considering decorating that wide strip of cloth that works as a
closure for the half round copes the priests, and everyone seemingly,
wore across the high chest to keep them on as my SCA baronial champions
project.
A previous baronial artisan project spun and wove cloth, and has hand
sewn two baronial cloaks. They have worked out to be half round "copes".
Since they need a way to be WORN, I thought making a very decoratively
beaded, and therefore kickass, set of that strippy thing (whatever THAT
THING is called) along with a beaded clasp, or two.
I just am drawing a blank on the nameon what those thigns are called...
so I can do some design research. Each would have a theme I am thinking,
like flora and Fauna, hunting, or something... Anyway I think would be a
worthy project , and needed likely, and be hopefully the first of a set
of projects to enhance the cloak by following champions with embroidery
or ornamentation.
