First character meaning brocade, second one meaning ivory or tooth, but what do they mean together?
天頭與畫心、畫心與地腳間既無隔水，更無錦牙，天頭與地腳的比例約為2:1，不同於後世流行的天頭地腳符合黃金分割律的3:2的比例，天頭上無驚燕帶

brocaded tape
锦眉或锦牙都是用来装裱书画的方式，主要是装饰书画的上方和下方。（见下面链接里面的美丽图片）
中国画装裱体式之一种。在画心的上端和下端，加镶一条约1―1.5厘米宽锦条的，这种式样称做“锦牙” 或 ”锦眉“。采用这种品式，如配色协调，宽窄合度，亦颇新颖美观。可装裱成一色式、二色式，裱成三色式的较少见。
Given the definition above and how it is applied to the painting itself, I would like to suggest to use brocaded tape for easy understanding by English readers.
供参考。

立轴：中国书画装裱式样。中称“画心”（一名“画身”，又名“蕊子”），上称“天头”，下称“地脚”，上下又有“隔水”。装裱尺寸有大有小，4尽以上的画幅，称“大轴”，俗称“中堂”，特大者称“大堂”或“大中堂”，3尺以下的画幅称“立轴”。有三色，两色，一色三种绫9或色纸）裱。也有绢裱。上装天杆，下装轴。有的天头帖“惊燕带”（一名“绶带”）。此种形式万千于北宋宣和时，后多效法。画心上下端可加镶锦条，称“锦眉”，亦称“锦牙”。
I have no idea yet what this is called in English, but the above passage should let you have an idea of the meaning.
