red sash

Scarlet fabric belt

A red sash is a broad band of red fabric worn diagonally across the chest or around the waist, typically as part of ceremonial dress, military uniforms, or political regalia.

Red sashes often signify rank, office, or factional allegiance: The general wore his red sash and medals.

In some contexts, they mark revolutionary or socialist movements.
