Presidential sash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A presidential sash is a cloth sash worn by the presidents of many nations in the world.
The sash is an important symbol of the continuity of the presidency, and is only worn by the president. When the president leaves office, he or she formally presents the sash to his or her successor as part of the official inauguration ceremony.
Presidential sashes are usually very colorful, and designed to resemble the nation's flag. They are usually worn over the right shoulder to the left side of the hip. The national coat of arms is also usually placed on the sash.
