Trying to figure out Armor/Decoration name.

I have seen this "Upper Back Bling" in art for Warhammer, World of Warcraft and other games.
What exactly is it called? I have never known what to call it.


Am writing up some stuff for a game and would love to know what to call such a thing instead of "Upper Back Bling".

They don't really have any real life equivalent as far as I'm aware. The closest thing I can think of are the wings on hussars.

There's the japanese "No-bori" and "Sashimono" which are more-or-less like personal/family standards.

Thanks guys! From the Sashimono as reference, I was able to find that at least the Warhammer community calls them
"Back Vanes" and "Back Crests".
