can't get meaning just of this word "crest" in this case
I need to translate some text but I can't get meaning just of this word "crest" in this case.
I found diffrenet meanings of this word in my dictionary but can't get which one is right.
Wrapping a green tartan dressing gown around himself, he fingered its gold-stitched crest on the breast pocket. It was a Harp emblem, with an inscription, ‘1875’. Kay had bought Skinner it for his Christmas, last year. They hadn’t been going out long then, and as a gift it seemed to say so much. But what had he given her? He couldn’t recall: perhaps a leotard.
