Presidential sash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A presidential sash is a cloth sash worn by presidents of many nations in the world. Such sashes are worn by presidents in Africa, Asia, Europe, and most notably, in Latin America.
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, especially those of Latin American presidents. 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. A national order's star or chain of office can also be worn,
