torse

In heraldry, the torse is a twisted roll of fabric wound around the top of the helm and crest to hold the mantle in place.Like the mantle, the protective cloth covering worn over a knight's helmet, the torse is represented in two colours, generally the same pair of colours used on the mantle. The torse was made up of a pair of ribbons twisted together, tinctured of the principal metal and colors of the shield, the livery colours. (See tincture for more on these "tinctures".) The torse is also often referred to as the wreath.

Le torse est une partie de l'anatomie humaine. Il est plus communément appelé thorax, notamment chez les autres animaux.
