The knot of ribbons made as an ornament is called a bow.
A bow is a tie or knot of ribbons used as an ornament . Although fabric ribbons are the most common bow material , metals or flexible plastics can also be used.
The bow - a term from the Latin laquĕus - serves as ornamentation but also helps to tie or fix something . In a dress , fabric ties help adjust certain parts of the garment. For example: “I'm going to make a bow at the waist so that the dress doesn't have so much ruffles,” “Adjust the bow at the neckline, unless you want to be the center of attention,” “The bow came off the capeline.” and fell to the ground."
Different types of ties
A bow can also be used as a hair decoration : “When I went to school, my mother always combed my hair with a beautiful red bow,” “Do you think this blue bow in my bangs looks good?” .
Another use of the bow is in the assembly and decoration of packages : “I already bought the gift for Mother's Day: you are in charge of getting a bow and making the card,” “Thank you for the gift! "I'm going to open the package without undoing the bow."
A black bow is a symbol of mourning.
Symbolic use of the concept
Certain ties have a symbolic use and represent support for a cause or a tribute. It is common for a red ribbon to be used as a symbol of the fight against AIDS and a black ribbon as a sign of mourning.
It must be emphasized, in addition to everything stated above, that there are a series of important distinctions in the world that become a bond. A clear example of this is the Spanish Lazo de Dama of the Order of Isabella the Catholic , which is an emblem in the shape of a cross or medal that is presented in silver or bronze.
With it, the civil work that is carried out by a person, Spanish national or foreigner, is recognized for the benefit of one's own country or to improve its relations with others. It must be said that the origin of this decoration is found in the 19th century , specifically in 1815 , and that it was created by the then King Ferdinand VII with the aim of praising the attitude and loyalty of certain individuals towards the land.
