Twisted sashes are known world-wide. In Lithuanian culture, beside its practical use (as a rope, band, belt to gird up a garment, or to tie up a married woman’s headdress), had also a symbolic meaning. It is believed that tying an object with a sash protects against „evil powers“. Sashes and bands were used to engird various ritual presents: at baptisms, weddings, funerals. Giving a sash meant closeness, sympathy, friendship.
