There are two factors to be considered. First is the definition and second the specific representation. The definition of a galero is unexpectedly wide open. And the specific representation of VMs White Aries can clearly be seen as ambiguous - intentionally lacking in sufficient detail. Therefore the heraldic interpretation, a cardinal's 'red galero' cannot be ruled out! The heraldic interpretation existed as part of an on-going tradition for those who were educated through the church system.
Interpretation depends on familiarity with history and tradition as seen from the second quarter of the 1400s, with several ties to the Duchy of Burgundy (Dijon, France).
The VMs 'nymph' on White Aries, the one that combines the separate, ideological representations of armorial, blue stripes and the ecclesiastical, red galero, either touches the live wire of historical familiarity or it has no effect.
The discussion of the representation is about the 'presence' of the proposed, historical interpretation; the real question is about the purpose.
