Unidentified "thing" on a scrap of white-black EK ribbon

[landsknechte]

...any idea what this is?

This is the insignia for prussian military officials (Beamte) which was worn on the shoulder and banjo boards, along with the peculiar rose-shaped pips to distinguish ranking. There are similar insignia for reich,bavarian,saxon,wurttemburg,baden,hessen and mecklenburg officials.

Is there any "normal" reason why it would be on this ribbon?
