Ribbon, in the sense of long, narrow strips of linen cloth, was certainly known in ancient Egypt.

Noblewomen often had ribbons tied around their hair or wigs, or a long, crimped ribbon tied around their dresses under the bust, with the two long ends hanging down to mid-calf in front. In hieroglyphs the word for ribbon or garland was written s-sh-d (with unknown vowels).
