In an effort to detect evidence of the envelope that would have been thrown off by a type II supernova, the Crab Nebula region has been studied with the Nancay radio telescope at 21-cm wavelength. No radio emission amounting to more than 30 dB compared with the Crab itself can be found at distances of 8-32 arcmin from the center. The boundary of the decimeter-emission region is practically coincident with the optical filamentary envelope. The Crab radio brightness distribution suggests a synchrotron-radiating shell that dominates the decimeter wavelength range.
