German term or phrase: Bildprogramme
Form und Farbigkeit der päpstlichen Textilien waren zwar wie bei liturgischen Textilien allgemein im Hinblick auf ihre Funktion fest normiert; das Material, die technische Verarbeitung und die Bildprogramme der Textilien wiesen dagegen einen gewissen Gestaltungsspielraum auf und wurden von der römischen Kirche bewusst als Referenzpunkte politischer Zeichensetzung genutzt.

decoration/iconography
Explanation:
Like your other question, this is not easy to look up in a dictionary, but this is the general idea. I'd say "materials, techniques and decoration/iconography".
